Hamptons Dance Project (HDP) launches its sixth season of classical dance from a contemporary perspective at Fireplace Lodge in East Hampton on August 9th, 10th, and 11th in partnership with Guild Hall. The address will be provided with ticket confirmation.

For the fourth year, performances will take place at Fireplace Lodge in Springs, a scenic 20-acre farm overlooking Gardiner’s Bay on the Northeast shore of East Hampton. HDP VI will feature new and established works from top choreographers, including Justin Peck (resident choreographer, New York City Ballet) for his third season, and Christopher Wheeldon (NYCB and Tony® Award-winning director and choreographer of Broadway’s “MJ”) returning with an encore (with a musical surprise) of a ballet first seen at HDP in 2022. The program’s three world premiere commissions are from Craig Salstein (“West Side Story,” “Maestro”), Houston Thomas (Dresden Semperoper Ballett), and HDP veteran Gemma Bond (ABT, New York City Center), who is creating a new work set to original music composed by HDP music director David Evans (“Wicked”).

ABT dancers from seasons past who will be returning for Season VI are HDP founder Jose Sebastian, Aran Bell, Lauren Bonfiglio, Isabella Boylston, Carlos Gonzalez, Isadora Loyola, Devon Teusher, and James Whiteside. Dancing with HDP for the first time will be Breanne Granlund (ABT), Anabel Katsnelson (ABT), and Lloyd Knight (Martha Graham).
