In a time when the world can feel divided,

the brilliance of street dancers reminds us that

creativity is freedom,

that joy is empowering,

and that escape recharges our soul.

Dancing in the Streets through our flagship program, It’s Showtime NYC! has been reimagining what’s possible with street dance. From performances at leading cultural institutions across the country, to professional development through our new advanced dancer initiative, program, and now our newest collaboration with legendary street dance pioneer Bones the Machine, our dancers are using the power of street dance to create community, growth, and belonging.

But this is about more than one performance or event. It is about creating pathways for artists, many from underserved communities, to earn income, build careers, and bring the art of street dance to stages across the country.

This fall, we are launching our annual fundraising drive to sustain and expand this work. Your generosity helps provide mentorship, paid training, and professional opportunities that strengthen both the dancers and the communities they serve. Every contribution supports rehearsal space, artist stipends, and creative development that keep New York City’s street dance culture thriving.

You are not just funding art. You are investing in communities, in legacy, and in the future of street dance. Join in sustaining the movement and empowering the next generation of New York City’s street dance artists.

Thank you for turning belief into opportunity for artists.

Thank you for reminding us that every act of giving is an act of hope.
Thank you for keeping this city alive with your generosity.

And thank you for being the steady support that fuels creativity as a lifeline.

Thank you for your generosity,
