Know a dancer with big dreams? Send this to them.❤️
Today is National Nonprofit Day, and for us, it’s a chance to talk about why the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation exists in the first place.
We believe talent and hard work should open doors—and that financial circumstances shouldn’t determine how far a young dancer can go.
Through scholarships, college partnerships and educational opportunities, NYCDAF helps dancers take the next step in their training and education. This summer alone, more than $33.7 million in scholarship opportunities were awarded to dancers at NYCDA Nationals.
None of this happens without the incredible community behind us. To our donors, college partners, teachers, studios, families, alumni and everyone who has believed in the mission of NYCDAF: thank you. Your support helps create opportunities that can change the course of a young dancer’s life.
Today, we’re not asking you to give. We’re asking you to help us spread the word.

$33,727,299.
We need a moment to let that number sink in.
Tonight, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our college partners, 214 dancers received college scholarships totaling $33,327,299 following this year’s NYCDA College Scholarship Auditions— our BIGGEST year yet!
The NYCDA Foundation was honored to award an additional $400,000 in scholarships, helping even more dancers take the next step toward their dreams.
To our college partners, donors, faculty, families, and every person who believes in investing in the next generation of artists—thank you. Your support changes lives, and today is proof.
To every dancer who stood on that stage tonight: congratulations. We can’t wait to see where your journey takes you. ❤️

Today is one of our favorite days of the year.
At 4 PM, the NYCDA Foundation and our college partners will award scholarships to the next generation of artists — recognizing not just where these dancers are today, but where they’re headed.
This video takes you inside this year’s College Scholarship Audition. Our college faculty aren’t just evaluating dancers in that room — they’re meeting future classmates, colleagues, and leaders in our industry.
To every dancer waiting for 4 PM: this is your moment. We can’t wait to celebrate you. ❤️

What happens when fashion, dance, and art collide? ✨
A room full of creativity, community, and purpose.
At Couture for a Cause, hosted by designer Randi Rahm inside her Madison Avenue atelier, the NYCDA Foundation brought together artists, collectors, and supporters for an intimate evening celebrating the spirit of the triple threat—while raising essential funds for the next generation of performers and the Chita Rivera Training Grant. Scholarship recipients took to the runway in Rahm’s designs, sharing their stories and reminding us exactly what this work makes possible.
Your support of the NYCDA Foundation opens the door to evenings like this—and more.

The ensemble is the heartbeat of a show - the dancers who hold the world of the story together, shaping every transition, every breath, and every turning point.
Last season, that honor of Outstanding Ensemble in a Broadway Show went to Buena Vista Social Club at the Chita Rivera Awards. 👏
With this year’s nominations just a few months away, which ensembles are leading the way for you this Broadway season?
