A highlight of DDCF, this exciting late-night event brings people together to celebrate dance through a nighttime dance party featuring electric performances by dance crews from Detroit and beyond. This year will include a special performance presentation from international guest, Kyung Hwa Hong and composer JooWon Park, of “Body Rap - Diverse Dance”. Through networking with Detroit artists and Korean artists residing in Detroit, we seek to find an intersection of culture and art in each country.
