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.
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.
