The art of music and dance (which I love), turns the community in which we serve from gloom to HOPE. The sound of music fills my office and liberates my thoughts. You see, my heart not only beats for me, but for every human being touched by my colorful paint brush full of life, liberty and the pursuit of art.

Buffalo Contemporary Dance exists to provide the community with the highest quality artistic experiences through the creation of choreography by the co-directors Leslie Wexler and Amy Taravella, that of nationally and internationally known guest artists, and also the reconstruction of classics of the modern dance repertory. Our core dancers are locally based and have trained at some of the various fine college programs in the Western NY area.
