The ninth annual Fall for Dance Festival (September 27th- October 13th, 2012), now expanded to 12 evenings, includes some of the most groundbreaking and breathtaking dance in the world today. With tickets to this year’s Festival, you can sample a diverse lineup of 20 companies and experience everything from hula to ballet, flamenco to tap. Fall for Dance presents an exciting mix of treasured favorites and undiscovered gems. So bring your family, grab your friends, join us and fall in love… Fall for Dance! For each Fall for Dance performance, City Center’s beautifully restored grand tier lobby will be transformed into Lounge FFD, a vibrant gathering place for audience members and artists. Lounge FFD offers Festival attendees and performers a place to relax and mingle, share a cocktail and have a snack before and after the show. Lounge FFD is open to the Festival artists and attendees. In addition, Fall for Dance’s annual DanceTalk series will offer pre-performance panel discussions in the New York City Center Studios (130 West 56th Street). Each discussion is free and open to the public. For more information and tickets go to City Center Dance Festival.
