For the 2024 Holiday Giving Campaign, we are asking for all hearts in to help us reach our $50,000 goal by December 31st.  As always, every donation that MOVE|NYC| receives goes directly toward funding 100% tuition-free programs and opportunities for some of today’s  most talented and exceptional young dance artists of our time.

For the past decade, MOVE|NYC| has been a vehicle for building equity and diversity within the dance field. Each year, we serve over 150 talented NYC & DC artists aged 13-25, offering a programmatic pipeline that supports dancers from middle school through to the early days of their professional dance careers. Our work is already having a significant impact on the field, as 100% of recent alumni have been accepted to some of the nation’s top colleges, conservatories, and professional training programs. By creating pathways to professional dance careers for artists who face financial hardship or other barriers to opportunity access, MOVE|NYC| is transforming the demographics of the field while simultaneously utilizing the arts as a catalyst for combating racial and social injustice.

We need your support to keep us soaring into a vibrant future.
A gift to MOVE|NYC| keeps our programs 100% tuition-free, growing, & thriving.
