The Adirondacks
Although horse racing and healing spas get much of the attention in Saratoga Springs, the town is also known for its rich history with the performing arts. The National Museum of Dance is the only museum in the country dedicated solely to the art of dance, with exhibits ranging from photography and videos to costumes and other artifacts.
There are classes and special exhibitions hosted at the museum, check the website for more details.
