WE'RE BACK

The NEW Jack Cole Dancers have been granted a rehearsal and performance residency through the CUNY Dance Initiative and Laguardia Performing Arts Center to develop the next phase of their CLUB ACT in 2026. â€‹

​

The CLUB ACT will preview at LPAC's Little Theater in February!

​

The Club Act offers an alluring evening of Jazz dance and music unlike anything you've seen before. The act reinvigorates the age of titillating table-side entertainment, immersing its audience to a scintillating mid-century Jazz club and offering a thrilling look at the legacy of dance pioneer Jack Cole and the cultural resonance of this art form. The show features numerous Jazz and Theater Dance pieces choreographed in the innovative style of Cole’s Broadway, Film, and Nightclub work, performed by dynamite dancers trained in the dynamic and virtuosic Cole style and technique.

​

From the mid-1930s through the ‘60s, Jack Cole dazzled New York and Chicago nightclubs with his unique fusion of world dance styles and Jazz music. Cole's exhilarating and authentic interpretation of cultural modalities paved the way for much of the popular Jazz and Theater dance today, including the work of American dance legends Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins. Now in the 21st century, Cole’s spirit is coming  to life once again; choreographer Cam Loeser’s company, The NEW Jack Cole Dancers, brings work in the style of Cole’s original Club Act back to Manhattan’s nightlife. Get ready to experience the thrill of Cole’s world in this provocative and enlightening evening of Jazz music and dance! 

We need to raise $20,000 to make this project happen! 

​

We would appreciate any contribution you are able to give.

We are 15% of the way there!

The NEW Jack Cole Dancers premiered the first iteration of their JAZZ ALIVE series at Arts on Site on July 5th!

​

JAZZ ALIVE is a program geared towards celebrating the ever-evolving nature of this art form. Our mission is to make live Jazz performance accessible to the community, as well as foster creative collaboration and space for other Jazz artists within and outside the company to offer their unique voices and explore bringing their own creative visions to life.

​

We aim to expand this series in the future, offering regular programming and performance/ creative opportunities for NYC artists!

COLE JAZZ is proud to partner with Luboos to bring you our one of a kind custom heel, 'The Cole.' Sleek black leather with accents of fuchsia and red, this boot takes inspiration from Marilyn Monroe's scintillating pink gown set against the burning red backdrop in 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend.'
