In partnership with the New York City Department for the Aging, Dance Parade's Ageless Action program is devoted to serving older Americans through the joy of movement and dance.

We honor life experiences with exercises that empower and re-inspire an aging NYC population. Ageless Action is a 10-week curriculum based on resources from the National Center for Creative Aging.

Students in a communal setting are exposed to diverse forms of traditional and modern dance forms. 60-90 minute classes with our friendly multicultural teaching artists focus on a gradual increase of balance, flexibility, stamina, and agility. Whether dancing down 6th Ave, on a parade float, or in the Dance Parade grandstand at Astor Place, older adults are invited to be featured alongside their teachers and 10,000 dancers from around the globe in the annual Dance Parade on Avenue of the Americas and Festival in Tompkins Square Park
