Boca Tuya is a New York-based artistic incubator providing contemporary dance artists with the multifaceted, high profile experiences that characterize a holistic life in the arts. Since 2018, we have stood strong in our commitment to visibility and artistic excellence, showcasing the talents of New York’s top movement artists while establishing a company culture that prioritizes the wellbeing, economic stability, and personal achievement of our dancers. Through extensive opportunities for performance work, national and international touring, educational outreach, and choreographic commissions, we exist to give our dancers the resources they need to live as artists rather than chasing art for their livelihood.
"Boca Tuya" seems to have the formula to create successful and appetizing choreographic works for dance lovers..."
"...very important for first-time audiences, who need to leave happy and full, wanting to consume again."

"The very visible payoff was to see solo dancers, originally hemmed in by pools of light, achieve enough confidence to move from self-love to pure love. Finding the right escape velocity is every dancer’s greatest challenge: It was revelation itself to see it happen to twelve of them at the same time"
