DANCE PARADE'S SCHOOL AND SENIOR CENTER DANCE PROGRAMS IN BROOKLYN, BRONX, and MANHATTAN
NOW THROUGH MAY 21st, WHEN THE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNUAL DANCE PARADE
We invite you to join us for one of the classes!
Dance Parade, one of the annual highlights of the NYC dance scene, also has a thriving program of dance in schools, taking place now through May, when the students will also participate in the next Dance Parade on May 21st. The grand celebration of dance will return LIVE this year with 150 participating companies, 15 floats, and 100+ dance styles in a joyous parade.
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 under-represented communities along with the city-wide dance Community. Throughout the year, workshop demonstrations and residencies are provided to youth, ages 7 to 17, in schools and recreation centers, as well as for older New Yorkers in senior centers. Programs are under the expert eye of Director of Community Engagement Carlye Eckert. All programs end with the exciting participation in the annual Dance Parade.
