Suggested Ages: All, Adult Friendly
New York City’s hottest (and largest) outdoor dance floor with a now-iconic 10-foot disco ball returns to Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza. Continuing a long tradition of social dance under the stars at Lincoln Center, the newest iteration—The Dance Floor designed by Clint Ramos—blooms upward from Josie Robertson Plaza, vibrantly setting the stage for a lineup of participatory programs including nights devoted to merengue, bachata, Lindy hop, disco, tango, hip hop, freestyle, ballroom, and much more.
All social dance events begin with a DJ set (7 pm) and dance tutorial from a professional instructor (7:30 pm) before launching into a full-blown dance party with live bands and New York City’s most renowned DJs (8 pm). Silent discos follow at 10 pm.
In addition to first come, first served General Admission, get a reservations for free Fast Track to skip the lines, available online every Monday at noon for that week’s events.
