Encouraging audiences to journey through the vast and vibrant array of voices that unite the New York City dance community, Dancenow|NYC's goal is to allow the audience for dance to discover, connect with and find a new artistic crush each season.

“Dancenow|NYC knows how to deliver dance to the uninitiated and experienced alike”

Bending the rules, exploring the untried and defying the standard, Dancenow|NYC offers a way to experience dance that is welcoming, relevant and fun. For more than 2 decades, Dancenow|NYC has followed its own path, embracing the unconventional to seek out new means to promote, challenge and develop the artistic careers of a wide genre of choreographers and to connect new audiences to dance.

Embracing our signature [short format] programming, a pillar of the organization since it was founded, we offer the avid fan and newcomer to dance cultural events that are distinct, accessible and reflective of the new direction and passion of New York City dancemakers.

Join us as we acknowledge the vast newness and energy of dance NOW!


Dancenow|NYC is produced by Founding Directors, Robin Staff and Tamara Greenfield
