Join Dance/NYC to discuss preliminary findings from the forthcoming research study, State of NYC Nonprofit Dance, made possible by leadership support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and The New York Community Trust. Based on the first-ever New York State Cultural Data Project data on NYC nonprofit dance groups, this report will provide a snapshot of a vital segment of the NYC dance industry and its activity, audiences, finances and resources. Led by cultural researcher Catherine Lanier and Anne Coates, new Vice President, Research and Special Projects, The Municipal Art Society of New York, we will in this discussion open up our investigation to the field and mine the data on dance for opportunities for policy, funding and management—working together to move NYC forward.


Dance/NYC Town Hall Meetings are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. The program is also supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Dance/NYC’s mission is to sustain and advance the professional dance field in New York City—serving as the voice, guide and infrastructure architect for all local dance artists and managers. The organization achieves this mission through three core program areas: advocacy and research, audience engagement and professional development.
