Buffalo Rising Online

Buffalo Gals Bring Home New Works celebrates the talent and dedication of a dozen young women now emerging upon the professional dance circuit, upon their graduation from high-ranking conservatories and colleges throughout the U.S. These women are coming back home from such places as Boston, New York, and Los Angeles for this very special performance, produced by Pick of the Crop Dance. These dancers received their early training from a cross section of Buffalo’s best dance studios. They have one mentor in common: Pick of the Crop Dance’s Elaine Gardner.

Pick of the Crop Dance, a concert dance company, has been providing professional performances, training, and education to the western New York area and beyond for the past 25 years. The company is well known for its wide ranging and innovative concert performances integrating dance, music and the visual arts, and projects for children that emphasize their inherent creativity and imagination.
