Tickets Now on Sale for NEW YORKERS FOR DANCE Dance/NYC Benefit
The benefit at 26 Bridge in DUMBO will feature music by DJ Ali Coleman and pop-up installations by local artists.
Tickets are on sale for Dance/NYC's NEW YORKERS FOR DANCE, the organization's celebration in support of its work advancing equity and opportunity across the New York City dance field. The event will take place this year on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at 26 Bridge in DUMBO, Brooklyn.
This year, Dance/NYC is calling its broader community to the dance floor-artists, advocates, funders, policymakers, and neighbors-for an evening that celebrates dance as a powerful force for connection, cultural expression, and belonging, and an invitation to imagine a future where dance is valued as a common good. By bringing people together on the dance floor, NEW YORKERS FOR DANCE recognizes that gathering through movement is one of the ways community is built, culture is shared, and lasting support for dance grows. The evening reflects Dance/NYC's vision of a stronger, more connected dance ecosystem where everyone has a place on the dance floor and everyone has a role in shaping the future of the field.
The night will feature a dance party with music by DJ Ali Coleman, an open bar and hors d'oeuvres, and pop-up installations by local artists and Dance/NYC grantees. All proceeds support Dance/NYC's work investing directly in dance workers, expanding access to resources and professional development, and advocating for policies that strengthen the dance workforce.
Tickets start at $150 and are available at Dance.NYC/NYFD. There are three tiers available:
- Mover ($150): One general admission ticket
- Amplifier ($300): One general admission ticket, plus cover the cost of a community ticket for a dance worker
- Champion ($500): One general admission ticket, plus cover the cost of two community tickets for dance workers
A limited number of community tickets will be available for dance workers and community partners for whom the ticket price is a barrier to attending. Details on how to express interest will be shared soon.
