New York's Second Annual Dance Parade... GET READY!!
In May 2007 Dance Parade New York brought together over 4000 dancers and 13 floats down New York's Broadway and Fifth Avenue in the first-ever parade and festival to celebrate all forms of dance--everything from African to Zydeco, Belly to Break dance and Salsa to Swing. The first year success showed that Dance Parade can and should grow to be a positive force and energetic expression of our diverse dance communities.
On Saturday May 17th 2008 we will once again join colorful floats, live bands and dj's to dance in the streets to Contra, Disco, Clogging, Ballroom, Irish Step, Hip Hop, Swing, Ballet, Japanese, Sufi, Samba and more - over 27 forms demonstrating that Dance is a vibrant, expressive form of art.

The parade kicks off on May 17 (rain or shine!!) at 1pm from West 28th Street between Fifth Avenue and Broadway. It proceeds down Broadway past Union Square to 10th Street, making a left on 10th to Tompkins Square Park. After the Parade, enjoy DJ's, free performances and dance lessons in the Park until 8pm!
