Dance Bloc NYC

Dixon Place's dance fest, curated by Sangeeta Yesley, returns for a second year with six different programs of short works by more than 20 companies; each piece is 5 to 25 minutes long and inspired by the words courage, confront and conquer. Tickets are just $18 in advance; festival passes let you see two shows for $28 or—if you're really hungry for dance—all six for $60.
