10,000+ DANCERS, DJS AND LIVE BANDS WILL LIGHT UP NEW YORK CITY! Earlybird Registration for dancers now open
| Our very own Chauncey has served on Dance Parade’s Steering Committee for over fifteen years now. Dance Parade is an amazing non-profit that not only produces New York City’s largest dance event but also provides free dance programs to schools and community centers. |
| We’re thrilled to return to the streets to produce New York City’s largest dance event live in person! After two challenging years of the pandemic causing us to do our programs online, Dance Parade is pleased to also be back joining the global non-profit community to participate in #GivingTuesday with our campaign to raise critical funds for dance education. Beginning November 30, 2022, our campaign seeks to raise funds to enable Teaching Artists to bring the gift of dance to over two dozen schools and community centers.
