CAMPAIGN DETAILS:

Dance Parade is pleased to create this 2022 Year-End campaign to raise critical funds for dance education. Beginning Tuesday November 29, 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. We believe that dance can awaken the human spirit and help create a more vibrant and equitable society.

Our Board of Directors along with Facebook have generously committed to tripling every dollar donated, expanding what we can do as a community that loves dance.

DANCING THROUGH NYC: This season our $20,000 campaign will help Dance Parade create 10-week dance education programs that will benefit over 1,500 participants in schools and community centers.

GRAND FINALE: Students will end their programs with participation in the 17th Annual Dance Parade Saturday, May 20, 2023 and then showcase their work on stage at DanceFest after the parade!  For many, this will be an experience of a lifetime as most of these kids have never appeared on stage.

BEYOND THE ZONE: Our 2023 theme, “Beyond the Zone” reflects a “flow state” to remind us that we need to effortlessly move through difficult times as well as acknowledges New York City Mayor Eric Adam’s “City of Yes” campaign to reform antiquated Zoning laws related to dance.  Updating Zoning ordinances in New York City follows the 2017 repeal of the NYC Cabaret License law that restricted dance to a small number of venues licensed for dance.  Come Saturday, May 20, 2023, 10,000 dancers will dance Beyond the Zone in New York City’s largest dance event by showcasing over 100 unique cultures and dance styles.
