Chanel has announced its continued support for the BAAND Together Dance Festival.
The fashion house is returning as a lead sponsor for the sixth annual BAAND Together Dance Festival, which brings five leading New York dance companies back to Lincoln Center for the summer season. Kicking off with opening night on July 28, the five-day festival will feature daily performances, free dance workshops and a panel discussion with the artistic leaders from each company.
Performances include Claire Davison’s “Zephyr” pas de deux for American Ballet Theatre; “Passage of Being” by Jodie Gates performed by Dance Theatre of Harlem; Lar Lubovitch’s pas de deux “Each In Their Own Time” for New York City Ballet; “A Case of You,” a duet choreographed by former Alvin Ailey artistic director Judith Jamison; and Ballet Hispánico New York performing “Trança (Braid)” by Cassi Abranches.
With Chanel’s backing, each performance is pay-what-you-wish with tickets starting at $5. The BAAND Together Dance Festival, which will take place at the David H. Koch Theatre, is part of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City programming, ongoing through Aug. 8.
Chanel has supported BAAND since its first edition in 2021, when it began in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A longtime champion of the performing arts, Chanel continues to pay homage to founder Gabrielle Chanel’s commitment to dance through creative partnerships and initiatives worldwide.
The 2026 BAAND Together Dance Festival will take place July 28-Aug. 1.
