Mission Statement

Collective Dance NY was formed in the spring of 2006, giving members an opportunity to present their work in an open setting, without restrictions, rules, or time constraints. This union is determined to provide an outlet for each participating choreographer to workshop new ideas, receive feedback on existing work, and follow a concept from its moment of inception to the final performance alongside a group of supportive, like-minded individuals.

CDNY compiles their artistic and administrative knowledge, resources, and finances to create their own performance opportunities in an arena where so few are available to independent artists. Through collaborative support, CDNY helps facilitate each choreographer to clarify their personal artistic purpose. The passion and determination of each individual member to make each production a reality fuels the creative process, creating an honest, uncompromising experience.
