Sword Dance Family Performance
When: Saturday, February 18, 2017, 1:00pm
This event has passed.
Join us for this special performance as part of the 32nd annual New York Sword Dance Festival, which brings an ancient winter celebration to life with fast-paced rapper sword and mysterious long-sword dancing. The dancers are linked in a ring by swords as they weave ever more complex figures in this modern display of skill—a New York tradition adapted from English and European customs.
Family Programs are made possible by the generous support of: Brenner Family Foundation | Lone Pine Foundation | Lulu & Leo Fund | Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation
