Save the Last Dance for Me

At L’Alliance New York, “Save the Last Dance for Me” appears as a contemporary dance-and-image work folded into the Jacobs tribute program, where songcraft, cinema, and live inquiry overlap. Featured artists Sidi Kaba, Nicolas Becker, Momoko Seto, Sylwia Szkiłądź, and Raoul Servais bring movement, sound, and film language into a shared frame. The title nods to the 1960 pop standard and its long afterlife through cover versions, treating it less as nostalgia than as a cultural artifact to be re-heard. In New York, that context matters; the piece reads as a small study in how familiar tunes keep accruing new meanings.
