Kaleidoscope – MORABITO (NYC)

The Art Of Enduring Excellence.

“Legendary” is often overused, but it accurately describes Susan Morabito, who has dominated the dance scene for over four decades and remains as relevant, current and celebrated as ever. 

Susan got her start at the Pavilion in Fire Island Pines and quickly conquered “the circuit”, playing the GMHC Morning Party, AmfAR’s Dance On Washington, Black & Blue, Cherry, Blue Ball, Gay Days, USS Intrepid for Stonewall 25 and the 20th Dance On The Pier.

She played Twilo, Roxy, Tunnel, Sound Factory, Limelight, Palladium, Roseland, Cielo, Pacha, Webster Hall, gigs across North America, Europe, Brazil, Japan and Australia and helmed events for Calvin Klein, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, as well as the prestigious Met Gala.

Now simply known as Morabito, dropping her first name signaled change and helped publicize her evolution towards a more progressive, tech house influenced sound. Gigs since include WE Party NYC and SFO, several Masterbeat L.A., Industry SFO, Heretic and Xion ATL, Hustlaball, Winter Party Week MIA, Toronto, Montreal, San Diego and Dallas Pride, IML Chicago, Cherry, Distrkt C, OZ Halloween, BRÜT, Trade, Alegria, Sunrise and Viva NYC, Pavilion and The Pines Party, Independence, Bear, and Carnival Week P-town, Black & Blue 25, and NYC World Pride/Stonewall 50 Pride Island.
