EDUCATION

Since 2008, the Dance Parade organization has tapped its pool of diverse multi-cultural talent to provide Community Engagement Programs to share the joy of dance with historically underrepresented communities along with the city-wide dance community. Throughout the year, workshops, residencies, and performances are provided in-person to youth aged 7-17 in schools, at recreation centers, and for older New Yorkers in senior centers. All programs end with the exciting participation in the Annual Dance Parade & Festival. Our Health & Safety policy helps protect our classes and venues in accordance with CDC guidelines.

EXPOSURE

INCREASED AWARENESS

and physical ease for participants in space as indivduals and as a collective.

UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

on learning about and respecting history, progress and diversity by studying the way a culture moves.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

that supports coordination, flexibility and improved circulation and engaging explorations of meaningful ways to maintain fitness for a lifetime.

Throughout the year, our non-profit commissions distinctive dance organizations to educate and present the artistry of dance to schools, senior and community centers.  Dance Parade’s certified educators have created a curriculum for students to learn about the world culture and history of a particular dance genre, learn techniques and choreography, and perform dances for their community and in the parade.

Three forms of Curriculum are offered: World Cultural, 20th Century American 通过网络参加 Urban/Modern.  School programs that culminate with the Annual Dance Parade & Festival are offered from February to May and include costume making and performance opportunities.

All participants in Dance Parade’s Community Engagement Programs have the unique opportunity to dance alongside their teaching artists in our annual parade on Avenue of the Americas and outdoor Festival in May!
