Save the Last Dance for Me 
Alessandro Sciarroni

A dazzling revival of the nearly forgotten Italian folk dance Polka Chinata, Save the Last Dance
for Me is a breathtaking duet of whirling spins and sweeping knee bends. Hailed as “engaging,
delicate, and terribly attractive” (La Terrasse), this acclaimed work reimagines tradition with
boldness, beauty, and contemporary flair. Following Sunday’s performance, at 3pm, dancers Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini will host a workshop to teach Polka Chinata to the public.

L'Alliance New York's programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

About L’Alliance New York
As an independent, not-for-profit organization, L’Alliance is committed to providing members and students with engaging French language classes and audacious multi-disciplinary programming that celebrates the diversity of francophone cultures and creativity around the world.

A welcoming and inclusive community for all ages and backgrounds, L’Alliance New York cultivates a space where people can meet, learn, explore the richness of heritage, and share discoveries. They strive to amplify voices and build bridges from the entire francophone world to New York and beyond.

L’Alliance New York’s history began in 1898 when the Alliance Française established a chapter here in New York City. In 1911, francophile New Yorker MacDougal Hawkes founded the Museum of French Art, French Institute, and opened a space in 1925 inside a beautiful Beaux-Arts building at 22 East 60th Street, where L’Alliance still operates. In 1971, the two institutions combined to create the French Institute Alliance Française, now known as L’Alliance New York.

As a product of this union, L’Alliance is infused with the spirit of the original French Institute. Designed to serve as a museum, library, and intellectual and social club for New York’s francophone community, the French Institute is a place where all are welcome — a place of community, culture, support, and festivity.
