Day Two of the Battery Dance Festival (Finale)
Tonight’s program ended with everyone dancing to Latin and Dominican Republic music, led by dancers in the Compañia Nacional de Danza Contemporánea de Republica Dominicana.
The 36th annual Battery Dance Festival continues every evening this week, through Saturday at Battery Park.
I sadly cannot make tomorrow’s performance, but *YOU* should go see “One To(o) Many Colors” by Kalamandir Dance and the rest of the program featuring an evening of Indian and Indian-inspired dancing. Merde, Anjana, Maria, and Montana!

The National Company of Contemporary Dance (CNDC), from the Dominican Republic, opened this evening’s performance. CNDC presented an abstract piece centered on the theme “disappearing” and explored how we fight for our lives, persist, and return stronger than before.
