ALBANY — For the sixth year, the performing arts centers at The Egg and the University at Albany will present Dance in Albany, a joint dance series featuring nine performances for the 2021-22 season. The lineup mixes several companies from the 2019-20 season who were postponed by the pandemic as well as many others new to the series schedule.
Six of the performances will take place at The Egg at the Empire State Plaza with the remaining three at the UAlbany Performing Arts Center on the uptown University at Albany campus. The series features styles that range from flamenco to hip-hop to Indian dance along with plenty of modern and ballet with more than half of the performances featuring live music. Many on the schedule are companies who are commemorating or have just recently celebrated major anniversaries.
Dance enthusiasts have the opportunity to purchase a package with a ticket to each performance for $130, a savings of over 40% off the individual prices. Subscriptions that include six and four performances are also available at a savings of 25% and 10%, respectively.
