EXCERPT: “This year we’re looking at immigrant rights and countering a lot of negativity about walls and immigration and closing the border,” Greg Miller, Dance Parade’s executive director, said. The event opened with a Native American circle dance presided over by Louis Mofsie, the leader of the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers and one of four grand marshals (along with DJ Dara, Baayork Lee and Bill T. Jones). A banner on the float carrying Mr. Mofsie, at the front of the parade, stated: “When we honor Native American dance, we acknowledge that we are all immigrants.”

DeJesus: "I am extremely so proud of all of them. When I came in, it was a lot of challenges," DeJesus said. "Some of them had never danced. And some of them had disabilities."

Thousands of Dancers Will Flood NYC Streets to Celebrate "The Cabaret of Life" May 18, 2018
EXCERPT: Dance Teacher: Tell us what inspired the theme of this year's parade—"The Cabaret of Life."
Greg Miller: In 2005, I noticed that there were all these signs around NYC that said "No Dancing." I learned there was a 1926 Cabaret Law in place that required restaurants to have a license for dancing. The license was hard to get, so a lot of restaurants didn't have one, and it really suppressed culture. Kevin Bacon even remarked that it was like a real-life Footloose. We initially organized a dance parade in 2007 to show all the expressive forms of dance to protest the Cabaret Law. The law went on for 91 years. Just last year [October 2017], we were able to repeal it—hence the theme: "The Cabaret of Life."

"Join NYC's dance revolution -- without getting busted by the cops" By Christian Gollavan, January 29, 2018
EXCERPT: “It’s a restriction on our culture and my personal freedom as a dancer,” says Greg Miller, founder of the annual Dance Parade and Festival and one of the main advocates of the Cabaret Law repeal. “In the early 2000s, we’d see signs in clubs that said ‘no dancing.’”
Dance Parade and Festival, , May 12, 2017
EXCERPT: "If you find yourself swarmed by undulating bodies on a downtown stroll this Saturday, know that they are moving with purpose. This annual street festival, now in its eleventh year, includes more than eighty forms of dance, from Armenian folk to Brazilian zouk, creating a spectacle of sheer variety that is rooted, the organizers suggest, in equality, emotional and physical health, and empowerment. Since 2007, in a cheeky sendup of New York’s antiquated cabaret laws, the organizers have enlisted their own New York Dance Police, who issue tickets—in the form of summonses to free and discounted dance classes—to people along the route whom they deem too stiff."

"In Which I go to a Dance Parade and Reflect on Happiness. Dancing in the Streets!"
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project, May 25, 2010
EXCERPT: "This Saturday, my husband suggested that we all go downtown to watch the Annual Dance Parade. I’d never heard of it, but for the past three years, New York City has had a dance parade, where thousand of dancers, from all sorts of dance organizations, dance their way down a parade route. Some of the dancers were from “real” dance schools or groups, others were from dance/exercise classes, and many groups, we suspected, had been organized for the sole purpose of marching on Saturday."
