Fort
Greene Park, Brooklyn, NY
(South-East Entrance)
| Every
late summer, Dance for Peace brings dance and peace
awareness to beautiful Fort Greene Park in Brooklyn.
At the park's south-east entrance on DeKalb Ave. and
Washington Park, our host will greet the audience and
lead them into the Fort Greene oasis for this unique
and uplifting experience.
The natural terrain and flora of the park eliminate
the dark confines of a stage, and is the perfect setting
to highlight each dance piece. Come and enjoy an eclectic
range of dance styles and concepts ranging from radical
to sublime, all in the name of calling out for peace.
Don't miss what our new generation dance artists are
creating as a sign of our times.
