Falling for Fall for Dance

March 22, 2017


20 companies, 12 performances, $15 a ticket: By the numbers, New York City Center’s Fall for Dance festival looks pretty impressive. When you add in the fact that the annual event often features troupes rarely seen in NYC, and that it seems to ignite the city’s passion for dance—hordes of people line up every year to snag FFD tickets—the picture gets even better.

The festival opens tonight with a program featuring Jared Grimes, Martha Graham alum Fang-Yi Sheu, Nederlands Dans Theater and the BalletBoyz. (Enough bold-faced names for you?) But even if you weren’t able to get tickets, swing by City Center this evening to hang out at Lounge FFD. Every night of the festival it’ll offer great food, fun music—and, if you arrive at the right time, maybe even a chance to dance with some of the evening’s performers.

Miraculously, there are still a few tickets available to the October performances—but we’re guessing they won’t last long. Get ’em while you can!
