The Museum of the City of New York's exhibition, Urban Stomp: Dreams & Defiance on the Dance Floor, immerses visitors in 200 years of social dance history. Through interactive video monitors and expert guidance, attendees can learn dance styles from the Lindy Hop to the mambo right in the museum. Sarah Henry, the museum's chief curator, emphasizes the exhibit as a representation of New York City's dynamic cultural evolution and creativity, showcasing the city's influences on dance and the ongoing conversation among varied dance forms that has existed since the 19th century.
The exhibition, which guides visitors through some 200 years of social dance in New York City, includes artifacts, photographs, and interactive video elements.
The idea is that by the time you arrive at the video-interactive dance floor, you know a little something about the history of social dance.
