BigAppleMommy Review: This is an fun, unusual performance art/dance show and worth watching if you’re in the Battery Park City area. Not the typical dance recital, a dozen dancers dressed in graphic, colorful dresses take over the bridge and surrounding areas and use the railings, benches and environment as part of the dance. The whole show lasts about 20 to 25 minutes and there is live singing by a talented dancer at the end. I recommend taking the kids to see this if you or they like dance.
