BAAND Together Dance Festival
Returning to Lincoln Center after a series of sold-out, tour de force performances last summer, the BAAND Together Dance Festival joins Summer for the City from August 9–13. Five of NYC’s most iconic dance companies—Ballet Hispánico, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and Dance Theatre of Harlem—share the spotlight and an outdoor stage with dancers and pieces from across the companies featured each night. In the afternoons, each organization leads unique dance workshops, appropriate for all ages!

Kyle Abraham's Reunions and Requiem
From August 6–7, Lincoln Center presents Reunions, a brand-new dance festival curated by renowned choreographer and MacArthur Fellow Kyle Abraham, featuring seven ascending contemporary dance makers. The festival is followed by the New York premiere of Abraham's Requiem: Fire in the Air of the Earth from August 11–13 at the Rose Theater. Ten dancers from Abraham’s company—A.I.M by Kyle Abraham—join music artist Jlin, who transforms Mozart’s music into an electronic opus that memorializes ritual and rebirth.
Experience NYC's largest outdoor dance floor
Join us at The Oasis as we wrap up 300+ free events with Summer for the City! NYC's largest outdoor dance floor with a 10-foot disco ball will remain open until August 14 only. You won't want to miss the chance to dance one last time. OUT.OF.OFFICE headlines the AFROPUNK After Dark silent disco series on August 11, and Jlin & Kush Jones round out the series on August 12. There's no better way to say farewell to the dance floor than a celebration of beloved cultural icon Greg Tate on August 13.
