4th Annual NYC Dance Parade - May 21st
The 4th annual Dance Parade will take to the streets of New York City beginning at 1:00 PM on Saturday, May 22, 2010. The multi-cultural parade, which unites dancers of all genres throughout the city, will start on 21th Street and Broadway, travel south through Union Square, turn east onto 8th Street and continue into Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. The parade is designed to celebrate the history of dance and unfolds chronologically, beginning with the most ancient forms of dance and ending with contemporary and urban styles. From 3:00 to 7:00 PM, Tompkins Square Park will be host to DanceFest, which will include a myriad of free dance performances, workshops, lessons and social dancing on stage and in the basketball courts, along with aerial performances.
Dance Parade New York will include 70 styles of dance, ranging from classical ballet to contemporary hip-hop to holistic, therapeutic, expressive dance. The Parade will showcase over 300 dance organizations and over 10,000 dancers.
