You always hear about the free concerts that pop up all over NYC’s parks, but dance concerts are less frequent.  Unless you want to fight the masses as Central Park’s Summerstage, you may not get too many other chances to see top-notch dance companies for free.

City Parks Foundation, the same people that brought you KRS-One, Chrisette Michele and Hezikiah Walker a few months back, are bringing the Tania Isaac Dance Company to the stage in Manhattan’s East River Park.

From the Parks website:
