POST PARADE DANCE FESTIVAL "DANCEFEST"

We invite the groups of artistic excellence to perform on stage. There is no additional fee for filling out this section and we actually pay stipends to those teaching and performing artists chosen by our Curatorial Committee. You must be in the Parade to participate in DanceFest 2022, our post-parade festival in Tompkins Square Park. If accepted, you'll be notified by the festival committee in April.

DanceFest's Curation Committee is currently a team of five dance-industry professionals with extensive experience in many forms of dance. The Committee is interested in presenting all dance forms and genres, including culturally-specific dance forms and dance-theater in addition to classical and contemporary choreography. Artist submissions that contain an audience engagement element are also welcome.

DanceFest strives to present artistic excellence and cultural diversity. Stage A (Main) and Stage B (Family) stages are 20ft x 20ft stages with a green room and portasan. These performances tend to be 3-8 minutes in length. The Social Stage is our party area and designed for club and circus performances. Site specific performances will occur throughout the park and feature performances exceeding 60 minutes for contemporary, folkloric and cultural dances.

You can login at another time up until the April 1st 2022 deadline to complete the DanceFest application however early applications have an increased chance for placement.
Paid performance and teaching opportunities at DanceFest after the parade are offered only to Dance Parade participants.
Choose a length closest to the length of your performance not including our emcee's introduction. (minutes : seconds)
