General Info

Dance/NYC is an arts service organization that provides assistance for the dance community of New York City, and the greater New York area. We provide a range of inclusive services for all dance forms and all dance professionals.Dance/NYC advocates for dance by providing New York specific research statistics and data, meeting with local and state policy makers, participating in Arts Advocacy Day, working closely with arts advocacy coalitions, responding to community issues and encouraging constituents to write letters to their government representatives, speaking as a neutral voice on behalf of dance arts or groups, serving on various panels and serving as the dance representative at many arts-related events. We educate through distributing research findings, advocacy alerts, news and information, and by providing professional development programming. Our professional development programming includes various seminars providing valuable information on leadership training, technology training, financial skills, healthcare, legal issues, small business start-up and arts management.Dance/NYC's Town Hall Meetings, a platform for essential, issue-solving dance conversations, have taken an important role in the dance community of New York. For a town hall, a panel of experts is convened by Dance/NYC to address a community concern. Over the past 6 years, Dance/NYC has been raising the level of dialogue within the dance community and inspiring creative solutions through these important conversations by tackling issues such as turnover rates among executive leadership in dance, mentorship, race and dance, age discrimination and the generational gap. In addition, we offer smaller, topic-specific roundtable meetings to share information and help individuals to make important business connections.For communication, our website, www.dancenyc.org, is our greatest and most important tool. It provides the dance calendar with audition, performance, classes and workshop, professional development, gala, advocacy, and funding dates. Also a dance map that serves as a living census, identifying dance artists, companies, studios, and venues. The website also includes important links, resource directories, access to our research studies and more. Our constituents report that they visit our website numerous times per day and that it is a vital resource for their professional needs.
