An Uptown Ball - Dancing the Revolution at United Palace Theatre

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 period music, elegant and spirited dancing and spectacular costumes. We'll be celebrating the first generation of American artists, including trailblazers like African-American composer Francis Johnson. The program will feature dances from the Revolutionary era and the early days of the United States.

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.

This ball crowns the Crackalackin’ Festival, United Palace’s celebration of Uptown artmakers. Make a full day of it by attending the 5:00 PM concert featuring Leadlights Ensemble, DJ Boo, Opera on Tap, and more.
