Dear Friends,
A new edition of NYDF is fast approaching, and we are already counting the days until we can welcome you once again to New York City.
We would like to thank everyone who joined us for our 10th Anniversary celebration. You made it a year to remember, and we cherish every single person who helped NYDF become what it is today.
Last year’s event surpassed every expectation, yet we will always continue striving to make the experience even better. Together with our amazing partners at the New York Hilton Midtown, we have worked tirelessly to refine every detail and improve wherever possible.
Here’s what’s coming in 2027:
Kids Day will now take place over two days, with both the Trianon and Mercury Ballrooms available at all times. This will ensure ample space and scheduling flexibility, allowing us to give our future generations the attention and care they and their parents truly deserve.
Our Training Camp will also be held in both the Trianon and Mercury Ballrooms, providing everyone with plenty of room to practice and prepare. In addition, the Mercury Ballroom will remain available for practice throughout the entire event.
And of course, everything you have loved and come to expect from NYDF will be back:
- All main events, including all Pro-Am divisions, in the Grand Ballroom
- Professional Latin and Ballroom Jack & Jill competitions
- The traditional NYDF Gala Evening featuring gourmet dinner and live music
- A world-class international panel of adjudicators
- NYDF’s signature sound experience and custom-created playlists
- Top Juvenile, Junior, and Youth divisions competing in the evening sessions
- Complimentary ballroom admission for all competitors during their respective sessions
- NYDF’s customary participation gifts for all attendees
- A world-class Training Camp experience
And, of course, the greatest city in the world – where memories are made and dreams come true.
“If you can make it there, you’ll make it anywhere.”
See you soon!
Eugene & Maria
