Fall for Dance Festival 2018

The Fall for Dance Festival at New York City Center in Midtown, Manhattan, October 1 – 13, 2018, presents five programs with four world-class dance companies each for just $15.

The performances are full of dance world stars. There are principal dancers from New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theater. There are six New York City Center world premiere commissions.

This showcase is one of the highlights of NYC’s dance season. It sells out every year. Venue bookers attend and next year, some of these artists will come back to perform at venues across New York City and America.

This season features African, Argentine, Brazilian, Cuban, French, Mexican & Romanian dancers or dance companies performing ballet, modern, contemporary and folkloric dances.
