Louis Falco Dance Company

Louis Falco, a native New Yorker born of southern Italian immigrants and raised on the streets of Manhattan's Lower East Side, achieved in his rich, colorful lifetime, stellar international acclaim as a modern dancer and choreographer. He was best known as an electrifying, charismatic performer who was "simply one of the most exciting male dancers in the world", and for the repertory he created for his own Louis Falco Dance Company, for works commissioned by other world renown dance companies, and perhaps most significantly, for his choreography of the 1980 motion picture "Fame".
