All the good energy paid off: Saturday's program was delivered in full with no pauses for rain!
The beautiful colors of dancers' costumes against the verdant green London Plane Trees of Battery Park was a sight to behold. Come and join us tomorrow for another day of wonderful dance.

I can’t begin to express my deep appreciation to the Battery Dance Company for hosting the Downtown Dance Festival. This summer I had the absolute pleasure of seeing these exceptionally talented companies and dancers. ALL the dance companies were wonderful, WONDERFUL!!
I can’t say that one was better than the other.
Last year I was a new comer to the dance festival, and this year I made sure that I did not miss one day. I spent 7 glorious days in Chase Plaza and Battery Park watching the performances. Each and every dance company performed for us as if they were performing in the grandest of theater. They didn’t hold back one bit, not one bit! Every performance was fabulous and each dancer performed from their heart. This was magnificent to see. I greatly appreciate that Battery Dance Company and the other dance companies gave so much of themselves to us the audience.
For me personally it goes a step further. In these difficult times of recession, like Jonathan Hollander said, we all have our own personal story. I definitely have my own. It’s been a very difficult and trying year for me, and having the opportunity to experience one of my passions in dance, jolted me out of much felt depression and misery lately. I can’t thank Battery Dance and all other performing companies enough for how they brighten each and every day for me. My spirit danced with you all with each performance. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
