Dance Performance in NYC (Aug 20th)

August 18, 2013 10:34 PM

I'm in NYC for one more week, and I'd like to go see a live dance performance this Tuesday. I'd prefer something more modern, or even circus-y, to ballet. (Sorry - I don't have the right vocabulary to talk about dance!) Budget is $100 for good seats at the right show, but I'd prefer cheaper. Do any of the NYC mefites have recommendations?

I'd start by searching the events listings at Time Out New York's website.

Check the calendar at the Joyce Theatre to see if anything appeals to you.

Well for dance upstate or Jacobs Pillow is the place to be in august. I'd see if there's half price for Forever Tango at TKTS.

Pippin is really great, BAM and Alvin Ailey won't have any performances until the beginning of September, unfortunately.

Maybe something will appeal to you on http://www.nycgo.com/music-and-dance.
