Hudson Valley Dance Festival

October 8, 2016
Catskill, NY

Hudson Valley Dance Festival, a world-class dance experience in the heart of Catskill, NY, returns for its fourth year. To meet growing demand, this year’s event will feature two performances, at 2 pm and at 5 pm, again transforming the 115-year-old wooden warehouse at Catskill Point into a modern-day dance venue.

Hudson Valley Dance Festival has raised an impressive $323,630 for the most vulnerable among us. The money raised helps Dancers Responding to AIDS and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS provide grants to AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, including seven based in the Hudson Valley. The area organizations receiving grants in 2015 were Alliance for Positive Health in Albany, Animalkind in Hudson, Community Hospice in Catskill, Hudson Valley Community Services in Hawthorne, Hudson Valley LGBTQ Center in Kingston, Matthew 25 Food Pantry in Catskill and TOUCH (Together Our Unity Can Heal) in Congers.

Check out this year’s festival performers.
