NYC Dance Alliance

NYC Dance Alliance is a dance school in West New York, NJ. It operates as a dance convention and intensive program, incorporated in the early fall of 1993 by Executive Director Joe Lanteri. The organization runs regional tour stops and a National Season Finale, and offers intensives where dancers take at least one ballet class and one jazz or contemporary class daily, with classes running from 9am to 6pm. Intensives are open to dancers at least 10 years old by the start of the event, and applications are handled individually. The affiliated NYC Dance Alliance Foundation is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) public charity that offers scholarships for secondary and college education, and more than 300 local dance studios across the United States participate in its fundraising programs. The school holds a rating of 3.50 based on 2 reviews. Its first regional season in 1994-95 included ten regional cities, and it now tours 24 cities. The faculty has included teachers, dancers and choreographers, among them three-time Tony Award winner Andy Blankenbuehler. The intensive program requires all dancers to submit an application, with a 50% tuition deposit due upon acceptance, and payments are non-refundable, though a credit is extended for a future event in the case of injury or illness. The office is located at 602 66th St. in West New York, NJ 07093. NYC Dance Alliance has served the dance community since its founding in 1993, growing from a ten-city regional tour to a 24-city convention and building a scholarship foundation that supports young dancers pursuing college education.
