“In a society that worships love, freedom, and beauty, dance is sacred. It is a prayer for the future, a remembrance of the past and a joyful exclamation of thanks for the present.”

Dance Parade
graciously acknowledges
our 2019 Sponsors and Partners:

|

With Dance Parade six months away, we’ve launched our parade and festival registration and today are announcing our 2020 theme:“DANCE WITHOUT BORDERS!” Highlighting our commitment to celebrate diversity, cultural equity and inclusion, we recognize that dance transcends borders.
No border--whether defined by our age, capabilities of our bodies, politics, race, creed, gender, income or country--is needed for the artistry and passion found in dance.
As artists and art-lovers alike, we at Dance Parade continue our tradition to follow Thanksgiving by coming to together for the city’s largest holiday festival, Winter's Eve, where we present multi-cultural dance on Monday December 2nd.
Then comes #GivingTuesday the following day and we’re pleased to join the charitable community worldwide with our campaign to provide ten week dance residencies to schools and community centers throughout all five boroughs of New York City as well as parade scholarships to under-resourced groups.
Dance on,
Greg Miller
Executive Director

Dance
Parade is a 501(c)3 non-profit supported by a passionate team of dance
lovers. In this issue we put the team spotlight on Ali Coleman!
My current role with Dance Parade is helping to coordinate Sponsorship. For me, I’ve been involved coordinating the House Coalition along with Luis Vargas for 14 years and consider Dance Parade as the Super Bowl of all my events each year! Having run an ad agency with a lot of nightlife industry contacts, I’m pyshced to join Dance Parade’s Steering Committee, many of whom I’ve known for years.
What are you up to when you’re not helping with Dance Parade?
I am a veteran NYC DJ, party organizer & promoter and Nightlife Advocate.

Mark your calendars and join the worldwide movement to pitch in toward our charitable programs. Our Community Engagement programs provide schools, City Parks and Senior centers with 10-12 week residency programs. Particpants then culminate their programs by coming together to present their work in the May 16th Dance Parade and Festival!
At Dance Parade, we are grateful for every tax deductible donation no matter how small.

Feliz Noviembre!
Con Dance Parade a seis meses de distancia, hemos lanzado nuestro desfile y el registro del festival y hoy anunciamos nuestro tema 2020: "DANCE WITHOUT BORDERS!" (BAILE SIN FRONTERAS!)
Destacando nuestro compromiso por celebrar la diversidad, la equidad cultural y la inclusión; enfatizamos que no hay fronteras sea dada por nuestra edad o capacidades de nuestros cuerpos, política, raza, género, ingresos o país, es necesario para el arte y la pasión que se encuentra en la danza.
Luego viene #GivingTuesday al día siguiente y nos complace unirnos a la comunidad caritativa en todo el mundo con nuestra campaña para proporcionar proyectos de baile de diez semanas a escuelas y centros comunitarios en los cinco condados de la ciudad de Nueva York, así como desfiles de becas para grupos de bajos recursos.
Sigue bailando,
Greg Miller

十一月快乐！
距离舞蹈游行还有六个月的时间，我们已经开始了舞蹈游行和狂欢节节的报名，今天我们宣布了2020年的主题：“无边界之舞！”强调我们对庆祝多样性，文化平等和包容性的承诺，我们强调没有边界—-不管是由我们的年龄或身体能力，政治，种族，信条，性别，收入或国家/地区来定义的内容，这对于舞蹈中的艺术性和激情是必不可少的。
无论是艺术家还是艺术爱好者，我们在Dance Parade继续我们的传统，跟随感恩节，一起参加该市最大的节日-冬夜节，我们在12月2日星期一进行多元文化舞蹈表演和庆祝活动。
然后是第二天的#GivingTuesday，我们很高兴与全球慈善团体一起参加我们的运动，为纽约市所有五个行政区的学校和社区中心提供十周的舞蹈表演，并为资源匮乏的团体提供巡回奖学金。
