Battery Dance Festival is hosting $1 dance workshops this week
Think you can't afford to learn how to groove from world-class dancers? Think again: Battery Dance Festival, the city's longest-running free public dance festival, is bringing back its crowd-favorite $1 workshops this week, and the lineup is as global as it gets. From Monday, August 11 through Saturday, August 16, you can score a morning slot at Battery Dance Studios in Tribeca with visiting artists from Spain, Taiwan, Indonesia and beyond, all for less than the price of your daily coffee. Each 90-minute class runs from 10–11:30 am at the company's fifth-floor space at 380 Broadway (yes, it's a walk-up, but the warm-up starts on the stairs). Reservations are required in advance and spots tend to vanish faster than you can say grand jeté. The token $1 fee is non-refundable—think of it as your investment in bragging rights. Over the course of the week, guest instructors from the Netherlands, Taiwan, Germany, South Korea, Spain and Indonesia will share their unique approaches to movement, culminating with a class led by Battery Dance itself. It's an unusually intimate chance to train with artists who are also performing in the festival, which makes the workshops feel like a backstage pass to the action. The workshops are just one part of the 44th Annual Battery Dance Festival, which is celebrating its latest season with a five-night performance run from Aug. 12–16. Each evening kicks off at 7 pm against a jaw-dropping Hudson River backdrop at Rockefeller Park. The program is a mash-up of premieres, international debuts and live music, drawing more than 12,000 in-person attendees and 35,000 online viewers each summer. Expect everything from tap virtuoso John Manzari & Band to the New York debut of Wan Dance from Indonesia, plus a world premiere from Battery Dance itself. The festival even has themed nights—Friday, Aug. 15 is 'India Day,' featuring a new production on the Goddess Kali by Pittsburgh's Nandanik Dance Troupe and Kolkata-based soloist Subhajit Khush Das. Battery Dance has been connecting New Yorkers with the world through movement since 1976, not just on stage but also in public spaces, schools and conflict zones around the globe. These $1 workshops are a rare chance to step into that mission—literally—while picking up a new skill or three. So lace up, limber up and snag a spot before they're gone.

Brooklyn Beckham 'upsets' entire family as they're all snubbed from vow renewal
Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows (Image: nicolaannepeltzbeckham/Instagram) Brooklyn Beckham renews his wedding vows to Nicola Peltz - after inviting NONE of his extended family to the service in a brutal snub. Not only were his parents David and Victoria in the dark, but so too were his three siblings Cruz, Harper and Romeo, as well as his grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. None of Brooklyn's UK-based friends were also invited to the Los Angeles-based service. It's thought the first everyone knew about the service was when they read about it in media reports. It comes as the couple are at the centre of a feud with David and Victoria after they snubbed the former's 50th birthday party. READ MORE: Victoria Beckham's four-word comment to Geri Horner amid Spice Girls 'feud' READ MORE: David Beckham ditches iconic tiny trunks on yacht trip with Gordon Ramsay's family Nicola's dad Nelson was the officiant at the vow renewals (Image: Instagram/ @brooklynpeltzbeckham) Today Nicola posted a series of pictures of the event, including a family line-up. One picture appeared to show her dad Nelson officiating the service. A source said: 'It must have been very upsetting to find out this way.' Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have only been married three years. Speaking about the August 2 ceremony at the weekend, Brooklyn said: "We just wanted a really beautiful experience — a really cute memory." He added: "To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person. Yeah, it was really, really cute. It was really fun." He said that he would have his vows tattooed on his body, like he did the first time around in 2022 too. He said he's going to have to "find space". "These ones were actually longer than my original ones," he added. Meanwhile, the Beckham family - minus eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola – are currently taking a trip around the coast of Italy on the £16million craft. Victoria, 51, posted a handful of holiday snaps of herself and David, 50, soaking up the sun with Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. When asked about married life with Nicola, Brooklyn told People magazine at the weekend it was like "a never-ending play date." David and Victoria have become distanced from Brooklyn and Nicola (Image: @victoriabeckham/Instagram) "We don't like to go out for dinner, really," he said "We don't like to party or anything like that. When we are together, which is a lot of the time, we just hang out with our four dogs, and drink wine at home.' Sources close to Nicola have previously insisted there is no chance of reconciliation with David and Victoria at the moment given the 'highly charged atmosphere.' Her friends have previously said that as "an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within". The claims - described as 'parently untrue and ludicrous' by friends of the Beckhams - marked the 'nail in the coffin' of any future relationship, according to insiders. The Mirror has told before how David and Victoria Beckham 's pals were desperately worried about their son Brooklyn's 'unhealthy' relationship with wife Nicola. Friends of the couple have said that they believe Nicola is 'isolating' their son from not only them but his friends and extended family members. It comes as Brooklyn this year pointedly pledged his loyalty to his wife in a social media post, saying: 'I always choose you, baby.' Pals said it was 'disappointing but unsurprising' if Brooklyn meant this as a dig at his family - as they laid the blame at his wife.

The British social media megastar spent the weekend celebrating his new found fame at a £9million mansion in Ibiza. 8 Ibiza 'Final Boss' Jack Kay has hosted a huge late night party with dozens of bikini girls and a dwarf from Lamine Yamal's birthday bash Credit: Instagram 8 The British social media megastar spent the weekend celebrating his new found fame at a £9million mansion in Ibiza Credit: Instagram 8 Juan Alberto Duaso. one of five dwarfs at Yamal's birthday bash, dressed up like Jack for an appearance in Ibiza Credit: Instagram 8 Jack even took a dip in the mansion's swimming pool as he held a girl up on his shoulders Credit: Instagram Jack, 26, found viral fame last week when a video of him dancing on the party island racked up millions of views. His unique brown bob trim stole the show as he was quickly dubbed the "Ibiza Final Boss" for his raver style and look. The Newcastle-based lad was later flown out to Spain in a luxury £5million private jet with four of his mates to the upmarket Santa Eulalia region. There he stayed in the mega five-bedroom mansion, The Blue Stone Villa. Sat tucked away in the hills of Ibiza, the glitzy gaff comes with a large outdoor swimming pool, private chef and its own indoor nightclub. There's even a barbecue, DJ booth and state-of-the-art surround sound system with unrivalled privacy for all guests. Jack's new found fame was on full display on Saturday as he invited 100 of his fans, who he described as "charvas", to the villa. Popular DJs Deniz Menendez and Rsquared performed for the surging crowds all as Jack embraced the party vibes. Pictures show the tattooed Brit in a white vest and black shorts with his trademark shades and thick chain clutching a vape. Next to him stood several tanned, blonde beauties. Ibiza 'Final Boss' Jack Kay's barber tells ALL about viral star's legendary bob cut after his return from Spain Just 24 hours later, the partying continued for Jack as he hosted a second bumper event at the holiday home with a host of new mates. One of those who made an appearance has already made headlines this summer after he was a part of FC Barcelona star Yamine Yamal's 18th birthday party. The teen sensation landed himself in hot water and is reportedly facing a government investigation after he allegedly hired people with dwarfism to perform. Juan Alberto Duaso says he was one of five dwarfs at the bash with him now making an appearance alongside Jack in Ibiza. Duaso was filmed sporting a bowl cut wig and mirroring Jack as the influencer described him as a "mini" version of himself. A video of the pair dancing was captioned: "The final boss and the mini boss out tonight, see you soon." After Yamal's alleged stunt, disability rights groups ordered a crackdown on celebrities hiring people with dwarfism. Laws in Spain prohibit the public exposure or criticism of a person due to their disability if it is aimed at humiliating or mocking them for entertainment. 8 Jack spent the weekend celebrating his new found fame with drinks, women and his friends Credit: Instagram 8 Jack's fame kicked off when a video of him dancing in Ibiza went viral Credit: TikTok/@zerosixwestibiza 8 Jack has already landed a management company and a trip on a private jet in the wake of the new fame Credit: Instagram/@ In July, the Spanish government tightened these regulations with fines now reaching over £518,000. At the time Duaso responded by blasting rights groups for "taking away work" from dwarves. Footage from the Sunday night shenanigans show Duaso and Jack dancing around a bucket of drinks next to girls in bikinis and fellow Ibiza boys. A notable omission from the guest list across both nights was Jack's rumoured girlfriend Alisha Cook. Unimpressed Alisha, 23, is said to have pulled the plug on their relationship days into Jack's fateful Ibiza trip as she was sick of him partying with the lads, according to pals. The pair have reconciled in recent days - but Jack is still "skating on thin ice", according to sources speaking to the MailOnline. A friend said: "It's hard to believe that he's been branded the super king of Ibiza - the final boss - when she's been left on her own back here." Jack is enjoying a jam-packed schedule back on the party island after signing up with top celeb talent agency Neon Management. He joins the ranks of Joey Essex and Love Island's Harriet and Ronnie on their books. A source told The Sun: 'Signing up with the agency was a no-brainer given their past success and they've been inundated with requests for him already. Final Boss' barber spills the secrets behind the trim By Patrick Harrington ALI Kurbani, master-barber at B&D Barbers in Blaydon, Newcastle, welcomed Jack into the chair before he jetted back for a tour round Ibiza. He told the Sun that he was baffled to see his handiwork hitting the headlines. Ali said: "I have been doing this job a while now and this is amazing. "We have cut Jack's hair for around ten years and we didn't expect this." Ali, from Kurdistan, said that Jack has kept the same cut for a while. After wild speculation online about the style Jack requests - from Robin Hood to a bowl-cut or "short back and Battle of Hastings" - Ali gave us the truth. He said: "To get this style, Jack asks for a medium skin fade and then a bit of length of the top. But the key to creating the crisp Lego-like shape is to "keep the fringe sharp at the front," he said. B&D Barbers charges £26 for the Ibiza Boss special - but being a "very nice guy" Jack sometimes pays over the odds. Ali's cut said: "It made me very happy when I saw the video had gone viral but it was a shock. "I am very happy about it all and Jack is a very nice guy. "It is great to see this happen for our business. I think he is going to keep the style." "It all really blew up in a matter of hours so from TV shows to podcasts - the sky's the limit." Jack first shot to fame this week when a video of him grooving on the party island gained millions of views. With a shiny helmet of hair, a chunky gold chain, huge rave shades and bright white teeth - his look immediately caught attention. His lid has been compared to a range of pop-culture icons from Ringo Starr to Friar Tuck and a Lego man. A flood of memes followed - and the "Ibiza Final Boss" born. After becoming one of the most famous faces in Ibiza, Jack dramatically revealed his true identity in a video for The Ibiza Times. Sporting a thick Geordie accent, he declared: "I am the Ibiza final boss. Jack Kay. Get to know." Ibiza Final Boss in talks for huge ITV reality show THE Ibiza Final Boss has been in talks to join Big Brother after being inundated with TV offers. After taking the internet by storm, raver Jack Kay has taken on a top manager to handle the deluge of showbiz interest. His viral fame caught the eye of ITV2's Big Brother casting team and led to conversations about him joining the upcoming series. A source said: 'The Ibiza Final Boss has really captured the nation's imagination and is exactly the kind of character that makes for a fun Big Brother housemate. "Bosses had talks with his management, it is very late in the casting process for housemates but everyone thought worth a chat whether it be in time for this series, even as part of a task, or for the future. 'Jack's reps Neon Management have been inundated with offers for him so he's certainly going to be busy for at least the next few months. 'They've seen an unprecedented level of interest in him, and that's the nation loves him.' It comes after the lad revealed he was going on a nightclub tour to cash in on his fame.
