The BAAND Together Dance Festival is returning to Lincoln Center for its third summer.

The five-day outdoor festival, made possible by Chanel, will feature performances by several of Recent York’s top dance firms including Ballet Hispánico, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, Recent York City Ballet and Dance Theatre of Harlem. The entire performances are free and open to the general public as a part of Lincoln Center’s “Summer for the City” programming.

The BAAND Together Dance Festival will include the world premiere of a recent duet, “Pas de O’Farill,” choreographed by Pedro Rui and performed by dancers from Ballet Hispánico and Recent York City Ballet. Also on the week’s lineup is “Other Dances” by Jerome Robbins and “Dancing Spirit,” Ronald K. Brown’s tribute to former Alvin Ailey artistic director Judith Jamison. Choreography by Justin Peck, Robert Garland and Annabelle Lopez Ochoa may even be showcased throughout the week. An all-ages educational workshop, run by the participating dance firms, will happen each afternoon prior to the performances.

In a collective statement, the artistic directors of the five dance firms described the festival as “a testament to the vibrancy and variety of the Recent York City dance community. We’re thrilled to be returning with a spectacular program that features town’s most internationally revered repertory firms. This 12 months’s program highlights the modern visions which have made Recent York City our nation’s dance capital.”

Chanel sponsored the inaugural edition of the BAAND Together Dance Festival in summer 2021, in addition to last 12 months’s festival. A longtime supporter of the performing arts, Chanel continues to pay homage to founder Gabrielle Chanel’s commitment to bounce through worldwide partnerships. The style home is an official partner for the Nijinsky Awards in Monaco, and patron of the Opera de Paris’ Opening Gala and Paris Opera Ballet. In February 2022, Chanel contributed design to the Paris Opera Ballet’s tribute to late dancer and artistic director Patrick Dupond.
