​Asterial Dance
Even as an emerging company, Asterial Dance has taken a dual approach in its development. The company focuses on creating, performing, and producing their own works and concerts, as well as producing festivals and platforms for other emerging artists to create work. Asterial works with pre-professionals through Master Classes and Residencies, as well as underprivileged youth through an outreach program with the Salvation Army Times Square.
