NEW YORK — Commencing the month of June with an evening of original dance, Mark DeGarmo Dance invited spectators young and old to tune in for the season finale of Mark DeGarmo Dance’s 2020-21 Virtual Salon Performance Series season on Thursday, June 3.

Starting at 7 p.m. over Zoom, viewers watched in rapture as three original performances by dancers Anabella Lenzu, Barbara Mahler and Seema Viswanath unfolded on their screens. 

Following the performance of the three works-in-progress, the audience was invited to join in the facilitated audience response with the evening’s featured artists.
