In this 45 minute interview on BounceFM, Greg Miller, Executive Director of Dance Parade New York, discusses the evolution and impact of the event, which showcases 100+ dance styles and has been instrumental in repealing New York's cabaret law. Greg envisions expanding Dance Parade globally, with potential cities including Philadelphia (9.14.25) and Mexico City (TBA). The parade aims to promote cultural diversity and unity through dance, with a focus on participatory and inclusive experience. |
