Join The New York Baroque Dance Company for a dazzling costume ball at United Palace Theater.
**Featuring Twelfth Night!**
Enjoy an evening of community, live music, refreshments and elegant and spirited dancing. The program will feature dances from the Revolutionary era and the early days of the United States. We’ll be celebrating the first generation of American artists, including trailblazers like African-American composer Francis Johnson.
All are welcome — dances will be taught at the ball, and even more can be learned at NYBDC workshops (see our website: https://nybaroquedance.org/classes-2/).
Whether you join in on the dance floor or simply watch, you’ll be part of a magical evening.
