Wanna dance? Wanna dance with thousands of dancers? Then join the 2nd Annual New York Dance Parade on May 17!   With 3,100 dancers performing 29 dance styles, this celebratory event will help heighten public awareness and appreciation of this singularly moving art form.  Here’s a little Samba from last years event:

All are invited to join this kid-friendly event intended to unite, but also raise awareness of the importance of dance in the community.   Registered dance groups already range from ballet to belly dance, B-boy to the rumba, and from salsa to swing.   In addition to the dance companies and individual dancers, colorful floats, live bands and DJs will waltz, tango and pirouette down Broadway from 32nd Street to Tompkins Square Park with a dance festival finale in the park.

To volunteer for the event, register your dance group or to join a dance group  and visit http://danceparade.org/EE/
