Fall for the Dance People

Fall in New York is a season full of great dance opportunities. One of the first great ways to see tons of well known companies for very, very cheap is the Fall for Dance Festival at City Center. All tickets are only $10!! Yes you read right, only $10, for any seat in the house. The festival runs from September 22nd through October 3rd and tickets will sell out fast, almost immediately.

So why pound the pavement (or the refresh button) for a seat? The festival is not night after night of long evening length shows but rather a sampler of 4 or so different companies with 5 different program line-up. Each program features 4 more companies, with a range of American classics (like Paul Taylor, Mark Morris, New York City Ballet) to international companies (Israel-Batsheva, Australia-Australian Ballet).

If the price and assortment weren't enough, the festival also offers free workshop classes before select concerts, and discounted drinks after others. Whether you're new to dance and looking for a great introduction to the scene, or a die-hard fan looking for the most bang for your buck, Fall for Dance Festival is New York must.

Tickets go on sale September 13th at 11:00am at the City Center box office and online at www.citycenter.org. Please see the website for program details and more info.

And stay tuned for reviews from this festival and other shows!
