The 8th Annual New York City Dance Parade Kicks Off at 21st Street and Broadway at 1:00pm! Colorful costumes from countless cultures and crisp choreography join beautifully crafted floats celebrating all things dance! This year, the parade leads off with a Ukrainian group and bends and bows through over 75 unique styles of dance with a final crescendo from the internationally acclaimed club beats from Erick Morillo courtesy of Pacha.
Catch Grand Marshals Savion Glover, Jawole Zollar and Hex Hector on their own respective floats as we honor their individual contributions to the dance community. You will see Burning Man style art cars and buses, Bolivian Tinkus to Tap, Brazilian Zouk to Zumba, Waacking, Korean, Contemporary, Japanese, African to Ballet and Breakdance and so much more. Dance Parade has it all!
