Nacre Dance Group Announces Choreographer Submissions for Sip, Savor, and Swirl 2025

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Nacre Dance Group is accepting choreographer submissions for the Sip, Savor, and Swirl, a one-of-a-kind event celebrating the fusion of dance and wine. 

The immersive event will take place on Aug. 16 at Universal Preservation Hall and will showcase choreographed dance pieces inspired by wines from around the world.

Each choreographer will be assigned a specific wine and tasked with interpreting its essence—whether through its origins, characteristics, or cultural significance—by creating an original dance piece. The selected wines will be thoughtfully paired with cheese, offering guests a multi-sensory experience that pairs the artistry of dance with the refined tastes of wine and cheese.

How to Apply:

Nacre Dance Group invites choreographers (ages 21 and up) to submit their applications (https://forms.gle/Bb2AyrLDwMnV33xJ7) by March 30, 2025. All selected applicants will be invited for a video interview, and the chosen choreographers will have the opportunity to present their work at the Sip, Savor, and Swirl performance on Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

Stipend: All accepted choreographers will receive a $400 honorary stipend upon completion of their performance. Additionally, the winning choreographer will be commissioned to create a new piece for the Nacre Dance Group’s 2026 season.
