During these five years, we’ve danced, loved, cried, faced a pandemic together, moved across the city multiple times and then somehow managed not only to survive and thrive but to become the hub that so many of us (some knowingly, some unknowingly) needed. The Fifth has become the home of so many, dancers, non-dancers, movement enthusiasts, and mindfulness, yoga, pilates and meditation practices. Within dance alone, this past year we’ve welcomed dancers and dance groups in the realms of Ballet, Contemporary, African Contemporary & Afro-fusion, Heels, Latin Dances, Bollywood and Irish Dance.
