Fun in Bryant Park in May

This summer, Dance Party returns to Bryant Park and celebrates its 11th anniversary season! Every Wednesday and Thursday, from April 30 to May 15, meet at the iconic Bryant Park fountain at 6pm to learn basic dance steps with expert instructors. Then test those new dance moves to live music performed by a diverse selection of bands from 7pm-8:30pm.  

This year’s series kicks off with a night of salsa’s greatest hits performed by Grammy nominated Alfredo de la Fe All Star Band. Dance Party continues with instruction and dancing to live music with themed nights including Motown, bachata and merengue, Afrofusion, and Brazilian samba and forro. The series closes with a four-hour Latin Festival featuring four dance genres with the help of two legendary bands, Sebastian Natal & The Orchestra and Flaco Navaja & The Razor Blades.

Dance Party is hosted and produced by Talia Castro-Pozo.
