Dear Friends:
Thank you for your continued loyalty and support. It is because of you that New York Dance Festival is growing every year from strength to strength. We love you!
As we’ve always said, NYDF is our passion project and we are continuously striving to improve, to give you the best possible dance competition in the best city in the world – New York City!
So it is in this spirit that we’re thrilled to announce a few exciting changes to the NYDF Program for 2024:
- We’re adding a day!
Over the past few years NYDF has grown by leaps and bounds, so we will be adding an extra day to accommodate everyone and ensure the best possible atmosphere. The Camp will now be Sunday, Monday Tuesday ( Feb 18-20, 2024). President’s Day weekend is perfect for travel and will also give our school age participants a chance to attend at least two days without missing classes. The competition will commence on Wednesday February 21st.
- The NYDF GALA is back!
By popular demand, we are bringing back the famous NYDF Gala, on Wednesday Night, February 21st. We will enjoy a Gourmet Dinner by New York Times 3 Star Chef Peter Betz. Mitch Frohman and his Latin Band will provide live music, and as always, there will be one or two surprises to entertain our guests.
- Kids day is moving to the main Ballroom!
We love our NYDF Kids and we will always strive to give them the best competitive experience possible . As in the prior years, the Championship Pre-Teen, Junior and Youth categories will be spread over the evening sessions. The Sunday Kids day will now move to the main Competition Ballroom (Trianon), so all our young participants will get to perform in the best possible environment in front of the full NYDF International Panel.
Please check the tentative schedule for the full list of events.
We are looking forward to welcoming you all in February at the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel – located at 6th Ave and 54th Street – the very heart of Manhattan, New York City.
NYDF 2024 can’t come soon enough!
