The annual Hudson Valley Dance Festival will be held October 10 at Historic Catskill Point, located on the banks of the Hudson River in Catskill, New York.
The festival, produced by and benefiting Dancers Responding to AIDS—a program of Broadway Cares—brings together dance companies and artists for a day of performances and premieres. The lineup of performers and choreographers will be announced at a later date.
Each sponsorship and ticket purchase helps performing artists and people nationwide living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses. Among the 494 organizations supported by Broadway Cares nationwide, 19 are local to the Hudson Valley region.
The Hudson Valley-based organizations receiving support through the Festival include Albany Damien Center in Albany; Alliance for Positive Health in Albany; Animalkind in Hudson; Broadway Education Alliance in Rhinebeck; Catskill Food Pantry in Catskill; Columbia County Recovery Kitchen in Hudson; Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA in Hudson; The Community Hospice in Albany; Do Not Fear to Hope in Garrison; Dutchess Outreach in Poughkeepsie; Greenport Rescue Squad in Hudson; Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center in Kingston; Matthew 25 Food Pantry in Catskill; Open Door Family Medical Center in Ossining; People’s Place in Kingston; Rock Steady Farm in Millerton; Roe Jan Food Pantry in Hillsdale; TOUCH (Together Our Unity Can Heal) in Congers; and Troy Area United Ministries in Troy.
