LaTasha Barnes' The Jazz Continuum + Complexions + Paul Taylor at SummerStage
Jul 22, 2026 · Rumsey Playfield, Central Park (enter at 69th & 5th Ave), New York, NY 10021 · New York, NY
About this event
SummerStage x The Joyce dance night. LaTasha Barnes closes with an excerpt of 'The Look of Love' — her celebration of the joy and vitality of Black American music and dance — after sets by Complexions Contemporary Ballet ('Midnight Riff') and Paul Taylor Dance Company.
Why we picked it
Barnes is one of the sharpest voices working at the intersection of Lindy Hop, house, and Black social dance — and she's doing it on the Rumsey stage for free.
