Here at DS, our love for all-things New York City Dance Alliance is no secret. We live for the competition’s annual Nationals gala, we’re in the audience cheering (possibly the loudest…) at each of the NYCDA Foundation’s yearly shows and we have no shame telling the world about our crushes on Joe Lanteri (those blazers! that hair!).

The New York City Dance Alliance Foundation was created a few years ago to provide scholarships to college-bound dancers—love that!—and has awarded $8.4 million to date so dancers can attend top schools such as University of the Arts, Marymount Manhattan College and Pace University.
Destiny Rising
is a benefit performance, so your ticket money goes to good use (reminder, comp kids: these scholarships could be yours!), plus you get to see a stellar show boasting serious star power (NYCDA faculty favorites Joey Dowling and Andy Pellick will both be performing, plus the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company and tons of NYCDA alums).
We’ll be there—the show is Monday, April 21, at 7:30 pm at The Joyce Theater in NYC—and we hope you will be, too. Click here to purchase your [very affordable] tickets.
