About

In 2004, former City Center President & CEO Arlene Shuler launched a festival that would bring the best in dance to a broader New York audience for the price of a movie ticket. This beloved fall tradition has welcomed over 378,000 fans and is now a fixture on the New York dance scene.

Celebrate 20 years of Fall for Dance with five genre- and continent-spanning programs, as well as pre-show dance lessons and an Opening Night Party.

This year’s highlights include an interdisciplinary collaboration between star ballerina Sara Mearns, choreographer Bobbi Jene Smith, and bass-baritone Davóne Tines co-presented with Vail Dance Festival; two World Premiere City Center Commissions—from tap icon Michelle Dorrance with celebrated street dance artist Ephrat Asherie, and Adesola Osakalumi with the visionary team behind Jam On The Groove; the return of beloved Brazilian troupe Grupo Corpo; and the all-star Paris Opera Ballet duo of Hugo Marchand and Germain Louvet.

Casting and programming subject to change.

A $3 facility fee is applied to all performances, plus $7 handling fee for phone and web orders. No handling fee applies to in-person box office orders.
