Hurray! The gardens will be open all day on Tuesday, July 4. The celebration continues here at Wave Hill as we kick off our Sunset Wednesdays series on July 5. Gather on our Great Lawn and experience the newest creation by the brilliant tap dance and live music company, Music From The Sole. They bring together tap, percussive dance, samba, house, and live music and are sure to move you. Bring supper, too, for a chance to enjoy it during the performance. If it rains, the performance will move inside Wave Hill House, where capacity is limited. If you purchased a ticket, you will have priority for seating indoors.
Learn about these limbless creatures, how they move and which ones can be spotted at Wave Hill. Use recycled materials to make your own snake sculpture.
Registration not required.
The program takes place outdoors on Wave Hill House Lawn. Rain location is the Kerlin Learning Center located on the lower level of Wave Hill House. Please note the following important COVID-related information to ensure everyone’s safety if we move inside:
Approximately nine families will be able to participate at a time, based on the time each family arrives.
If capacity is full when you arrive, we will provide a “come back” card so you will have first entry for the next session.
Each family will receive its own set of materials and cleaning will happen in between seating participants.
Unvaccinated visitors are encouraged to wear a mask inside.
Wave Hill House is located along a paved route with moderate changes in grade. The building is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with a power-assist door. The restroom on the ground level is all-gender and ADA-compliant. Additional ADA-compliant restrooms are available on the lower level, which can be accessed by elevator.
Exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationship between nature, culture and site. When exhibitions are open, Gallery Greeters lead public gallery tours on Thursdays and Saturdays. Visitors can expect an in-depth look at artworks on view in Glyndor Gallery and in the Sunroom Project Space, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in a unique environment. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Registration is not required.

Sunset Wednesdays kicks off with I Didn’t Come to Stay, the newest creation by the brilliant tap dance and live music company, Music From The Sole. In the work, Brazilian tap dancer and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval and bassist and composer Gregory Richardson lead eight dancers and a five-piece band in a performance that explores tap’s lineage and connections to other Afro-Diasporic forms. Together the pair embrace shared roots across the diaspora and reflect on racial and cultural identity, while also celebrating the joy, strength, depth, and virtuosity of Black dance and music.
Advance tickets encouraged, but not required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. In the event of inclement weather, this event will move to Armor Hall, in Wave Hill House. Capacity there is limited and ticketed guests receive priority seating. Premium admission is in effect from 4PM to 8PM each Sunset Wednesday.

I Didn’t Come to Stay was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This project is funded, in part, through a Seed Fund for Dance grant from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation, thanks to the support of the Mertz Gilmore Foundation. The piece’s creation was also supported by a 2022 grant from the O’Donnell-Green Music and Dance Foundation, and a 2022 APAP ArtsForward grant. Music From The Sole is supported by Dance/NYC’s Dance Advancement Fund, made possible by the Howard Gilman Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
The work is a commission from Works & Process at the Guggenheim and was created with the support of a summer 2020 Works & Process bubble residency at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, as well as residency support in March 2021 from The Yard, an April 2021 Pillow Lab residency at Jacob’s Pillow, a 2022 Creative residency at Chelsea Factory, and a March 2022 Works & Process LaunchPAD “Process as Destination” residency at Catskill Mountain Foundation.
This event takes place on the Great Lawn, a flat grassy area accessible via flat, paved paths that run along the edge of the lawn. In the case of rain, it moves to Wave Hill House. Wave Hill House is accessible to all our visitors. Wave Hill House and Armor Hall are wheelchair-accessible.
