About the event
In late April, Dance Party returns to Bryant Park for a spectacular 12th year! Every Wednesday and Thursday, from April 29 to May 15, meet at the iconic Bryant Park fountain at 6pm to learn basic dance steps with expert instructors. Then practice your new moves to live music performed by a diverse selection of bands from 7pm-8:30pm.
Over the course of three weeks, Dance Party will take us across the world of dance and music styles: from salsa clásica, bachata, and samba, to motown, swing dance, and rock 'n' roll, pick your favorite genre or explore a new one with the help of veteran dance teachers and authentic live musicians. This year, our series will conclude with a Cuban Salsa Festival, a celebration of Cuban heritage and dance brought to you by two award-winning bands.
