In its 37-year history, Garth Fagan Dance has brought its unique movements to
audiences worldwide. It has been featured on the "Tonight Show" and PBS' "Great
Performances," and company founder and artistic director Fagan earned a Tony
Award for his work on "The Lion King."
Fagan's singular style, known and taught as the "Fagan Technique," fuses the
techniques and improvisation of Afro-Carribean, ballet, modern and postmodern
dance. The company has received the Governor's Arts Award from New York State,
and five of its members have received New York Performance Awards. For more on
