New York is home to an astounding variety of dance styles (what other city could spawn both voguing and breakdancing?), so it's a little surprising that the NYC Dance Parade is only in its second official year. With Bloomberg's blessing, this year's parade explodes into a seven-hour, thousands-strong city tour featuring traditional ballet performances, wild tribal ensembles, b-boy crews, salsa virtuosos, modern dancers, and many more. When you need a break from watching the seething throngs, take advantage of the free dance lessons.

Note: Participants must check in no later than 12:30pm on 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue. The parade travels down Broadway and across St Mark's Place to Tompkins Square.
