OUR MISSION
NYC Dance Week is a project by Tendu Inc, organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, to promote diversity of dance in the City of New York. The organization provides free dance and fitness lessons to the community by partnering with local dance and fitness studios during NYC Dance Week and offers performance/showcase opportunities for emerging dance entities helping them gain exposure in the community through its NYC10 project.
Dance Week believes that dance contributes to the well-being of both the individuals who watch and perform it and to the community at-large. The event brings immense value to the people of New York by encouraging them to be active, to be healthy and to celebrate life.
