What We Built Together Lasts
Last year, we celebrated an incredible milestone: 25 Years of Together in Dance!
Since 2000, Together in Dance has been cultivating community through movement and expression across New York City by engaging people of all ages in meaningful, high quality arts education programming. This year we celebrated and reflected on the lasting impact of this work and began a new chapter building on all that has come before.
Over the last year, Together in Dance has celebrated a plethora of exciting milestones. In 2026, we received our largest amount of individual giving in history, established 6 new program partner sites, cultivated 3 new funding partners, added to our administrative team, welcomed a new member to our Board of Directors and supported 6 Teaching Artists through the completion of our TA Mentorship Program.
Through all of these changes, our mission has remained at the center of everything we do: to empower individuals to use their creativity and work collaboratively to connect to the world around them. As we reflect on this year of growth, we are reminded of the lasting impact of what we create together.
What We Build Together Lasts.
Our goal is the same as last year: to raise $25,000. But this time, we're not just celebrating the last 25 years. We're investing in the next 25.
When you give to Together in Dance, you are investing in something that extends far beyond a single class or residency. You are helping create spaces where students embrace their creativity, older adults build connections, and Teaching Artists have the support to deepen their practice. You are investing in stronger communities by supporting spaces where people can come together and create alongside one another.

We are so grateful to you - some of whom have been on this journey the entire time and some of whom have recently joined through their student’s performance at school. Whenever you came in, we are thrilled you are here and a part of this mission to bring the best dance education to public school children and older adults.
