For more than two decades DanceNOW [NYC] has followed a green path. Without a performance venue of our own to maintain and power, and an office that exists only online, we have made our own way without expending unnecessary resources. Our focus has always been on resourcefulness and creativity, discovering the new, renewing the old and reclaiming dance as an integral part of our lives.

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”

Choreographer Maura Nguyen Donohue © 2006 - The Dance Insider 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!
