However, the law inadvertently caused many legitimate dance oriented establishments to be fined and shuttered. Judge Michael Stallman of the New York Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that social dance could not be differentiated from aerobics and therefore was not considered an expressive form of art. Hence, unlike music, film, theater, poetry, and fine art, social dancing was not protected by the state&#8217;s Second Amendment Freedom of Expression clause. In an effort to demonstrate that dance was indeed expressive, Greg Miller enlisted civil rights attorney Norman Siegel, former head of the New York Civil Liberty Union, to obtain a parade permit for 75 organizations to celebrate many diverse cultural and movement forms as possible.\u00a0 Dance Parade became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 2008 and serves its mission to inspire dance through the celebration of diversity with over 75 styles of dance in each year\u2019s parade.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After 91 years, the Cabaret Law was repealed by City Council on October 31, 2017 due to the leadership of Dance Parade&#8217;s advocacy and partnership with New City Council members.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Contact Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dance Parade Hotline: <a href=\"tel:(267)%20950-9213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">267-950-9213<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Mailing Address:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dance Parade, Inc.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/?q=789+Westminster+Road&amp;entry=gmail&amp;source=g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/maps.google.com\/?q%3D789%2BWestminster%2BRoad%26entry%3Dgmail%26source%3Dg&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521164547301000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFabEo06tQacEn6pU3mJfbkbyyVig\">789 Westminster Road<\/a>, 1st Floor<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Brooklyn, NY 11230<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Publicity Lead:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Rebecca Myles<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"mailto:publicity@danceparade.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">justin@danceparade.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"tel:(917)%20326-0802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">917-326-0802<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Or visit our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/danceparade.org\/zh\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/danceparade.org\/contact-us&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521164547301000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG7m6qCK0_76miO3hTVcYLXhD0ujQ\">danceparade.org\/contact-us<\/a> for further assistance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m_-8923625652298336988gmail-yj6qo m_-8923625652298336988gmail-ajU\">\n<div id=\"m_-8923625652298336988gmail-:1l5\" class=\"m_-8923625652298336988gmail-ajR\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"m_-8923625652298336988gmail-ajT CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/RnNZfQn2o2xpggJQqefCOervMbPIci5mujDPJnvl43kv6Rtxjyh5gHN_JKVzeU-aaGz3pePFgxfoAAtZJZNx8mveVTc-11j98EfuAJVcumUenA=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/ssl.gstatic.com\/ui\/v1\/icons\/mail\/images\/cleardot.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\u200b\u200b<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn_pb_el_container zn_pb_section zn_element_th_titleelement znpb-animated ZnBounceIn\" data-form-uid=\"eluid194283a4\" data-el-name=\"Title Element options\" data-uid=\"eluid55eb7051\" data-level=\"3\" data-object=\"TH_TitleElement\" data-has_multiple=\"\">\n<div class=\"kl-title-block clearfix tbk--text- tbk--left text-left tbk-symbol-- tbk-icon-pos--after-title eluid55eb7051\">\n<div class=\"tbk__text\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IN OUR INBOX 1) What is Dance Parade New York?
