“ONE OF THE GREAT EVENTS OF THE NEW YORK DANCE YEAR”
— THE NEW YORK TIMES

From tap to tango and hip-hop to ballet, the 14th annual Fall for Dance Festival brings the best of dance to City Center. Renowned companies from around the world perform alongside bold new artists.

This year’s festival features five world premiere commissions that you won’t want to miss. Kyle Abraham creates a piece for his company Abraham.In.Motion, and Michelle Dorrance expands her acclaimed 2015 Fall for Dance Festival commission, Myelination. Revered choreographer Mark Morris creates the solo Twelve of ‘em for American Ballet Theatre principal dancer David Hallberg, and Troy Schumacher debuts a work for Miami City Ballet. Hip-hop artists Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez present No. 1, created for Wang and New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns.

In addition to innovative new works, there are a number of companies making their Fall for Dance debuts in 2017: Ballet BC (Canada); Cie Art Move Concept (France); Danza Contemporanea de Cuba (Cuba); Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart (Germany); German Cornejo’s Tango Fire (Argentina); and Sanjukta Sinha, IceCraft Dance Company (India) take to the City Center stage for the first time to help make this year’s festival one you will never forget.

The 2017 Fall for Dance Festival is dedicated in memory of Marjorie S. Isaac for her visionary leadership and generosity which has ensured the future of the Festival.
