Our Story
Founded in 1995 as a pilot program for the Downtown Multi-Arts Festival, DANCE NOW NYC launched independently in 1997. The organization is dedicated to making dance accessible to the public through unconventional, all-inclusive events. By promoting today’s dance makers, DANCE NOW NYC provides unique opportunities for artistic expression and audience engagement, celebrating a wide range of dance genres and serving diverse communities, including ethnic minorities, BIPOC artists, the LGBTQ community, and individuals with disabilities.
