CityDanceNY was founded in 2021, by former professional dancer, Michael Buoni. As a result of the pandemic, many New York City dancers lost the ability to perform. Buoni wanted to give dancers an artistic outlet while also offering accessible community based performances.

​

At City Dance NY, we believe in the power of dance to tell a story that entertains, inspires, and uplifts its audience.

 

As the company enters its third season, we remain committed to our mission:

  • Preserving the storytelling traditions of classical ballet

  • Allowing young dance students to take part in professional quality productions

  • Making dance performances accessible across all income levels.

 

We are a growing company that looks forward to collaborating with like-minded artists in our community.

​

CityDanceNY is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit.
