The New York Baroque Dance Company is a professional American dance company located in New York City. It was founded in 1976 (incorporated 1979) by Artistic Director Catherine Turocy and Ann Jacoby.[1] With a mission to recreate and preserve the full range of 17th and 18th century dances (operas, court balls, salon performances and street shows) the New York Baroque Dance company also serves the community with educational programs for all levels, from elementary school to university, as well as programs for the general public.
The NYBDC has performed with many leading early music specialists, including John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Hogwood, Nicholas McGegan and Wolfgang Katschner and ensembles that include Opera Lafayette Orchestra and Chorus, The Dallas Bach Society, Mercury Baroque, Apollo's Fire and Philharmonia Baroque. In New York City, the company produces annual performances with Concert Royal Orchestra.
Important productions have included Jean Philippe Rameau's Les Boréades (never performed in the 18th century) and Hippolyte et Aricie at the Aix-en-Provence Festival and the Opera de Lyon; Henry Purcell's Indian Queen at London's Barbican; Scylla et Glaucus by Jean Marie Leclair at the Opera de Lyon as well as more than one hundred performances of a double bill of Rameau's Pygmalion and Handel's Terpsicore. At the International Handel Festival in Göttingen, Germany the company has performed many of that composer's works, including Ariodante, Arianna in Creta, Alcina, Atalanta, Orlando, Terpsicore and Teseo.
