Following last year's successful event, New York City Center will present Fall for Dance, two free evenings of dance in association with the Public Theater at its outdoor venue, the Delacorte, on Friday, September 12 and Saturday, September 13.

The performances will feature Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Lil Buck, and one more company to be announced. Free tickets will be distributed, two per person, at the Public’s Delacorte Theater in Central Park on the day of the show and through the Virtual Ticketing lottery. Sunday, September 14 has been slated as a rain date.

"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Fall for Dance back to the Delacorte again this year," said Public Theater Associate Artistic Director Mandy Hackett. "Partnering with Fall for Dance is a beautiful collaboration as our organizations share common goals and vision of making the arts and culture accessible to all New Yorkers. Experiencing such extraordinary work from the world of dance on the Delacorte stage is utterly thrilling."
