Dance Week

A 10-Day Festival of FREE Dance Classes

NYC Dance Week (www.nycdanceweek.org) collaborates with noted studios in New York City to celebrate the joy and diversity of dance with an exhilarating 10-day festival of FREE dance, fitness and wellness classes. The festival engages the community and families to experience dance, encouraging them to live active, healthy lifestyles. The organization moves beyond traditional dance forms to teach participants how all dance genres benefit mind, body and spirit. The festival is held in June at a variety of venues throughout New York City and serves hundreds.

Additionally, throughout the year Dance Week promotes dance studios and companies through their newsletter, projects, dance/fitness events and partnerships. Nearly 25 local studios partner with the organization each year to increase public awareness. The festival receives recognition from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Borough Presidents Ruben Diaz, Jr. (Bronx), and Scott Stringer (Manhattan).

Who Will Attend

From the past few years, hundreds of dance enthusiasts participated in events ranging from Latin, ballroom, tap, ballet, swing, hip-hop–even classes for kids and aerial acrobatics.

An Increasingly Popular Event

National Dance Week-NYC is produced by FitEngine Magazine and continues to grow in popularity. It is covered in several local media outlets and has been recognized by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Borough Presidents Adolfo Carrion, Jr. (Bronx), Marty Markowitz (Brooklyn) and C. Virginia Fields (Manhattan).

National Dance Week-NYC believes that dance contributes to the well-being of both the individuals who watch and perform it and to the community at-large. By offering FREE events to the public in different formats and dance styles, the festival brings immense value to the people of New York by encouraging them to be active, to be healthy and to celebrate life.
