We are changing our vibe this year! ✨

We’ll still have three nights of dancing in incredible venues and six hours of classes with world-class instructors.

Motley Hue will still bring people together through the joy of partnered movement.

Our event will still be fuelled by endless creativity, strong technique, and the freedom to color outside the lines of traditional dance forms.

We still strive for each dance to become a living experience of connection, community, and self-expression.

We believe that you should be yourself… because everyone else is already taken.

Dance is our art, our celebration, and our avenue for discovery.

So what are we doing different??

  • When…
    • We’re moving away from the chilly months of March and into the warm summer days of June. ☀️
  • Where…
    • We have some amazing venues lined up for you… and they’re all in Brooklyn near Prospect Park! 🗽
    • This will make it easier for out of towners to find places to stay nearby. 🛌🏻
    • We’ll do a picnic in the park on Sunday afternoon with a fusion scene lecture/discussion. 🧺
  • What…
    • Full passes will get 6 hours of classes during the weekend. 👀
      • The first two hours will be special topics on Friday night before the dance. 👥
      • The other four hours will be leveled with auditions, and you’ll take class EITHER Saturday afternoon OR Sunday afternoon. 😮
      • That means that without sacrificing class time, everyone will get an entire day off to sleep in, spend quality time with their friends, and explore fabulous New York City when it’s best during the summer. 🤸

introducing: Bridge Tickets!

Bridge Tickets are significantly reduced full passes to Motley Hue to offer dance education to those who want it.

They are meant for people who genuinely cannot afford a full ticket, and for whom doing work-study labor would be difficult.

How it works: If you want to take classes but have trouble affording a full ticket, you’ll have 2 weeks to register for our draw.

From Wednesday Feb 4- Feb 18.

On Feb 20th four names will be chosen at random from the list & these people will get the chance to register at a lower rate before everyone else does.

There will also be a variety of price options available during normal registration, and there are plenty of work-study options.
……..
✨ 4 Bridge Tickets are available 🗓 Applications: February 4–18 🗓 Draw: February 20
