We're thrilled to invite you to attend the June 15th Benefit Performance and After-Party. National Dance Institute's (NDI) 2026 Event of the Year: Don’t Stop Us Now! 50 Years of NDI! brings together over 200 talented children from New York City schools to perform joyful and exuberant choreography accompanied by live music. Directed by NDI Artistic Director Kay Gayner, National Dance Institute’s Event of the Year performance will feature signature NDI repertoire from the past five decades, as well as new pieces for the next generation of NDI dancers created by Jacques d’Amboise and NDI choreographers. 

After the performance at NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, we will head over to the White Oak Tavern for dinner, dancing, and drinks to celebrate the incredible work of the NDI children and teaching artists. 

NDI's Event of the Year is made possible by lead support from Helen Stambler Neuberger.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to Armelle Kessler (akessler@nationaldance.org) with any questions.
