Big Apple Circus: Dance On!

The spectacular Big Apple Circus leaps into its 33rd Season with a thrilling All-New Show, Dance On!

Taking place now thru January 2011 at Lincoln Center/Damrosch Park., the World’s Greatest Circus artists swing into action in the spotlight under our intimate Big Top, where no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring! Invited to the dance: an awesome troupe of monocyclists and lasso twirlers from China! A mind–bending group of Mongolian contortionists! A kinetic collection of Kenyan athletes who shimmy up a pole as though gravity were a joke! A herd of hoofers — twelve miniature horses in an equine chorus line! And an Ethiopian juggler with a lively up–tempo act that’s hard to beat! Your Host is our charming and charismatic Ringmaster Kevin Venardos, aided with antic abandon by star clowns Rob Torres and of course, our leggy, lovable laugh–riot Grandma! With live music by the Big Apple Circus Band, there’ll be cavorting in the aisles — and even you and your family will be dancing in your seats!

This year's production is directed by Eric Michael Gillett, choreographed by Peter Pucci, with costumes by Ann Hould-Ward, set design by Todd Rosenthal, lights by Brian Nason and sound by J P Perreaux.

Walk-up Kayaking.
This is our original and most popular program. The only requirement is that you know how to swim.

You can take one of our kayaks out for a short 20-minute paddle inside the protected embayment in front of the boathouse. They give you a life jacket, a kayak, a paddle, and some tips on paddling. You will need to stay inside our protected embayment where we can keep an eye on you, but otherwise you are on your own to enjoy the river and the sunshine.
Bring a bathing suit, or shorts and a T-Shirt. There are changing rooms, and a hose to rinse off. For details, log onto: www.downtownboathouse.org/programs.html
