Kat Wildish’s adult ballet class at The Ailey Extension

Here in NYC, we’re gearing up for tourism season. And what better way to kick off the summer than with a festival of open classes for visiting and local dance lovers alike? For 10 days (June 19–28), city studios will offer free and discounted dance and conditioning classes as part of NYC Dance Week. Participating locations include Mark Morris Dance Center, The Ailey Extension and Ballet Academy East, plus destinations for Bollywood, capoeira, salsa and much more. Some schools will also run deals on their 10-class or monthly unlimited cards. Just be sure to register for a free Dance Week pass to present at each location. Carry it with you all week, and you won’t miss a chance to dance!
