Robin Becker Dance is a New York based dance company founded in 1987.  Under the artistic direction of Robin Becker, the Company has an extensive repertory of work inspired by world traditions, Native American culture and the work of 13th century mystical poet, Jelaluddin Rumi.  Robin Becker Dance is internationally renowned for its contemplative and strikingly beautiful movement.  In the tradition of those who choreograph from the depths of the unconscious, the choreography speaks with power and immediacy.

The Company of seven dancers is distinguished in New York City by sold-out performances.  Their extensive repertory of work includes; Joyce Theater's Altogether Different Series, the inaugural season of the 92nd St. Y Harkness Playhouse 91 Series, St. Marks Church-in-the-Bowery, the Fiorello Festival, the Merce Cunningham Studio Theater and the opening performance of the Joyce SoHo. Other highlights include a collaborative work with Roberta Flack for Breast Cancer Research with costumes created by Nicole Miller.  

The Company's current work, Into Sunlight, premiered in the spring of 2011 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and at Hofstra University where the dance was the centerpiece for interdisciplinary conferences. Subsequent performances were at Georgetown University and Stony Brook University where Into Sunlight was part of their Festival of the Moving Body.
