Sign up for our newsletter to stay in the know at danceparade.org/e-newsletter. Our mission is to inspire dance through
the celebration of cultural equity & diversity. On Saturday May 21, 2022 the 16th Annual Dance
Parade and Festival will be the world’s largest
display of cultural diversity. The parade route starts on 21st street at 1pm
through Union Square to a Grandstand in Astor Place. Concluding the
parade is DanceFest on 5 stages in
Tompkins Square Park. Dance Parade’s Community Engagement
Programs allow participants of all ages –
from schools to community and senior centers
– an opportunity to discover their own innate
capacity for the communication of ideas,
thoughts, and feelings through the medium of
dance. Program groups often culminate their
explorations by performing in the Parade and
in Dance Fest.
