Where: As usual, Dance Parade's Grand Stand will be stationed as fixed bleacher seating at the intersection of Eighth Street and Fourth Avenue (at Astor Place)
When: Seating begins at 11:30am. Your ticket assures you of a seat in the Grand Stand however, seating is open for those with tickets so for the best seats plan to arrive early.
Why: This location is perfect for viewing the parade and is within walking distance of DanceFest, the post-parade festival in Tompkins Square Park. Our Masters of Ceremonies will announce each group and all dancers will take their turn performing in front of the Grand Stand. Complete with a PA System and state of the art DJ mixing audio platform, watching dance performances by 150+ companies is an experience like no other!
Purpose: Funds raised from grandstand seating will support the cost of Dance Parade & Festival.

The Grand Stand will feature Emcees and a DJ who will announce each group as they make their way past, present 40 seconds of choreography and begin the final blocks of the parade. Contact info@DanceParade.org for more information!
