At the 92nd Street Y’s biweekly dance series Fridays @ Noon and monthly Sundays @ Three shows, kids can catch debuts from up-and-coming choreographers, then stick around to talk to them. While Sunday’s show costs $10, Friday’s fare is free, so even if some of the stuff goes over your kid’s head, it won’t lighten your pocket. For details, visit 92y.org/content/92nd_street_y_harkness_dance_center.asp. Ages 10 and up.

All ages.
