city waltz, holy waltz is a magical experience rooted in the here and now that transforms public sidewalks into a stage and uses choreographed movements that have a poetic, romantic quality for creating a space where the public might feel the absence of others, turning the art into a reflective, emotional experience. Choreographer lauri stallings believes a dance can be a place without limits. This is the fertile ground from which city waltz / holy waltz has grown, a 120 – minute choreographed migration that uses waltz as a tool to explore global themes, and metamorphosis. Where six glo moving artists: Beatriz Cortez, Zandia Covington, Noëlle Dave’, Ashley Ianna Daye, Marcelle Gressier, and Mary Jane Pennington –  in long floral gowns commit to traverse, linger, and interact across ​our city to explore the “gravitational pull” of human interaction, and how people move through transitions and celebration, creating a sense of being suspended in a time somewhere in-between hope and despair.

OPENING Friday June 19 through Friday, June 26, daily at 6 PM – 8 PM | We’re pleased to invite you to join us at 6 landmark locations for a magical experience. “True desire as a radical, expansive urge for the “outside.” We look forward to being with you soon, and glo is deeply grateful to all of our hosts and creative partners, and their teams, and special folk, who are making this project possible.
