The 18th Fall for Dance Festival launches our re-opening for in-person performances! Experience the thrill of live dance again in five unique programs, each featuring three different groups of artists and companies, and presented this year without intermissions.
Providing artists with valuable opportunities to create new works, four New York City Center commissions will be presented by tap dance superstar Ayodele Casel, modern dance legend Lar Lubovitch for New York City Ballet principal dancers Adrian Danchig-Waring and Joseph Gordon, and The Verdon Fosse Legacy reconstruction of a group of trios that were originally created for Tony Award-winning actor and dancer Gwen Verdon and feature New York City Ballet soloist Georgina Pazcoguin. The fourth, a co-commission with Vail Dance Festival, will be created by sought-after choreographer Justin Peck for New York City Ballet principal Tiler Peck and American Ballet Theatre principal Herman Cornejo.
