Dance for Dance 2019

Join us for an evening of community celebration, friend- and fund-raising while supporting Mark DeGarmo Dance's mission and activities. Called "a national model" by National Endowment for the Arts, MDD's elementary education program is "evidence-based" serving PreK-5 students in 4 of 5 NYC boroughs.

Parking

We suggest you take a car service, cab, or walk to the venue, as there isn't a lot of public transportation available in this part of the East Village. Check the signs for street parking nearby- there may be available space near the Girls Club!
