Dance for Dance for Social Change 2026

Dance for Dance for Social Change 2026 - 39th Anniversary is MDD’s annual community celebration and fundraiser. Our annual party raises critical awareness and funds needed to support our mission and programs. We use dance to engage and empower NYC students through performance and education.

Dance for Dance for Social Change 2026 - 39th Anniversary includes a presentation, silent auction, live shout-out auction, dance lesson, and some 39th Anniversary surprises. The event will be back in person this year in the Lower East Side of Manhattan on May 7th!

Every year, our supporters can designate that their donations support the D4D attendance of the students, families, teachers, and school community members we serve. Let your donors and networks know that their generosity has a double impact in serving our communities with equality and dignity as our guests of honor.
