Thank You for Dancing With Us!

Dear Parade Group Coordinator,

Wow—what an unforgettable day! With perfect weather, one of our biggest crowds ever, and more than 160 groups filling the streets with joy and movement, the 19th Annual Dance Parade & Festival was a true celebration of dance in all its forms. We even made headlines! Coverage appeared in the New York Times, Fox5 TV, 1010WINS, and across dozens of blogs and social channels. And thanks to you and your dancers, we’ve been flooded with incredible photos and videos that captured the magic of the day.

Now, we’d love to hear from you.

As the lead for your group, your feedback helps us shape an even better experience for 2026—our 20th Annual Dance Parade and Festival on May 16, 2026 (mark your calendar!). Please take just a few minutes to complete our brief Parade Group Coordinator Survey. Your thoughts on everything from formation block logistics to sound, signage, and festival participation are invaluable.

👉 After submitting the survey, you’ll receive a link to join our WhatsApp Community Chat—a fun way to stay connected with other PGCs can promote shows, get special invites, and behind-the-scenes content.

🎥 And if your group performed at the Grand Stand, we're currently editing those videos. Check this link on Thursday to view your Grand Stand performance:

📝 Finally, we invite you to join our movement to Legalize Dance statewide. Visit LegalizeDance.org to sign our petition and consider becoming a co-signer from the dance industry. Together, we can fight outdated regulations and help ensure that dance is recognized as the vital cultural expression it is—everywhere.

Thanks again for your leadership, your artistry, and your role in making Dance Parade 2025 such a powerful celebration of culture and community. We can’t wait to dance with you again!

With gratitude and rhythm,
Greg Miller
