Wisdom & vibes: @natashadiggs Track: Love is All That’s Real Thank you @justabdiel @natashadiggs @karlalamusic and the entire @danceislifenyc team for creating such a space for this gorgeous community of beautiful people to connect and elevate. #danceislife #love #community #nyc 10 Nov 2026 What a night!!!! @danceislifenyc @natashadiggs @tichinaarnold 14 Sep 2026 Accessibility isn’t an add-on — it’s part of how we build community. 🤟🏾💛 Meet Avery, one of our ASL interpreters, who reminds us that true access starts with something simple: ask people what they need. By listening to individual preferences, respecting boundaries, and working together as a team, we create spaces where more people can fully participate, feel supported, and know they belong. Because when we’re intentional about accessibility, we’re not just providing accommodations — we’re showing people that they were considered from the beginning. Thank you, Avery, for helping make the Dance Is Life experience more welcoming, connected, and accessible for our community. 🪩✨ Video Description: Avery is wearing a bright orange T-shirt that says "ASL Interpreter". Hudson River Park Pier 76 is in the background and people are walking by behind her as she's being interviewed. #DanceIsLife #AccessibilityMatters #ASLInterpreter #InclusiveEvents #AccessibleEvents 20 Oct 2026 When you’ve lived the history, you don’t just tell the story — you carry it. 🪩🔥 We caught up with Darryl Solomon, aka @notoriousmadhatter, a first-generation pioneer whose life in dance spans the disco era, the early days of hip-hop in the South Bronx, and the evolution of styles that continue to shape the culture today. From legendary clubs and DJs to memories of dancing the B-boy Hustle, Darryl reminds us that these dances didn’t come from nowhere — they were built in community, through experimentation, exchange, and people showing up to move. And after all these years, the reason he dances is still simple: freedom, energy, and the freedom to express yourself. ✨ Thank you, Darryl, for sharing a piece of living dance history with us. 💛 Video Description: The video is set outdoors at Hudson River Park’s Pier 76, with the city skyline visible behind the speaker. The scene has a casual, community-event feel, with dancers moving in the background. At the center is Darryl Solomon, known as the Notorious Madhatter and identified on-screen as a “first-generation pioneer.” He’s a man with a mustache wearing a straw boater hat, oversized glasses, and a Versace-style patterned jacket with a gold watch on his wrist. He speaks directly to the camera in a conversational style gesturing with his hands as he shares stories. #DanceHistory #HipHopHistory #HustleDance #NYCDance #DanceCulture 13 Oct 2026 GRATEFUL!

Thank you to the Dance is Life Team for another amazing season. Thank you to @karlalamusic for the amazing sound. And big thank you to @natashadiggs and @justabdiel for being such gracious host for the best outdoor dance party in NYC. 29 Sep 2026 Dance Is Life at the 2026 NYC Dance Parade 💃🏽✨ What an honor to celebrate dance alongside thousands of movers from every corner of our city. This year, @kbendulny and @justabdiel joined the parade as guests of 2026 Grand Marshal Christine Jowers, dancing on her float in recognition of her extraordinary legacy and in tribute to all of this year’s Grand Marshals—including the Hustle community’s very own Jeff Selby. The NYC Dance Parade & Festival brings together thousands of dancers representing various dance styles, transforming New York’s streets into a vibrant celebration of culture, creativity, and connection. It’s a beautiful reminder that dance is more than movement—it’s history, community, and a language that brings people together. Thank you to @danceparade for continuing to create space where every style, every story, and every body belongs. We’re grateful to have been part of this celebration and to keep carrying the joy of dance into communities across New York. 💖 See you on the dance floor. 📸 Image/Video Description: Highlights from the 2026 NYC Dance Parade featuring colorful floats, dancers representing diverse dance traditions, joyful street performances, community celebrations, and captured images of Grand Marshalls, Joan Myers Brown, Christine Jowers, and Jeff Selby. #DanceIsLife #DanceParade #NYCDanceParade #DanceCommunity 06 Nov 2026 Thursday!! @danceislifenyc is back for 1 night only for our Halloween Ball Fundraiser Pop up in conjunction with @behindthegroovenyc 👻🪩 This Halloween, we’re taking over the dance floor for a night of MUSIC, COSTUMES, COMMUNITY & FUN!
