Social Dance

Lincoln Center invites all of the city to take a spin at New York’s largest outdoor dance floor, presided over by our now-iconic ten-foot disco ball! With a roster of free Social Dance programs—each beginning with a DJ set and dance tutorial—you’ll find an array of genres, styles, and opportunities to get your groove on. Whether you are losing yourself to the swing of the big band, gliding with a ballroom partner, getting swept up in the sway of salsa, or learning the hottest line-dancing or Hip-Hop dance moves to post on your TikTok, you’re always at the heart of the action. Bring friends or come alone and meet new ones when you make your first step your best step this summer on The Dance Floor!
