For its first series of post-pandemic live performances, New York City Center presented the five-program, 2021 edition of its vaunted, and extremely popular, Fall for Dance series. As in prior years, the quality of the performances across the scope of the programs I saw (I was unable to see Program 4) varied from the superb to those that, for one reason or another and to varying degree, were less impressive.

The CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI) receives major support from the Howard Gilman Foundation and Mertz Gilmore Foundation. Additional support is provided by the SHS Foundation, Jerome Robbins Foundation, the Harkness Foundation for Dance, the National Endowment for the Arts, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. CDI is part of Dance/NYC’s New York City Dance Rehearsal Space Subsidy Program, made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
