Preston Lydotes: Dancer in New York

About Preston Lydotes

Preston Lydotes is a dance artist whose work turns up in New York City’s small-room performance circuit, including a set at Berlin alongside Clara Kay, Nick Prato, and Coco Smith. Their appearances often sit in mixed-genre lineups, where movement is framed by live, guitar-forward songwriting rather than a traditional dance bill. Lydotes has shared stages with Kay, Prato, and Smith, building a performance practice shaped by collaboration and close proximity to an audience. The work tends toward clarity over spectacle.
