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.

Never mind that rain, we're going on as planned!
Despite the weather report, we're in Battery Park right now setting up the stage for today's Downtown Dance Festival! We hear things are going to clear up after 1pm today, so we may start a bit late. Bring an umbrella and join us for free dance underneath the trees. Today's performers include Eglevsky Ballet, Buglisi Dance Theater, New Chamber Ballet, Carmen Nicole, Naomi Goldberg Haas/Dances For a Variable Population, Figures in Flight, C-3 Tap Co-operative and Vissi Dance Theater.
