ALUMNI HOMECOMING

2023 ALUMNI HOMECOMING EVENT

Saturday, March 11th at 11 AM

Homecoming is one of the highlights of the NDI year, and we hope it’s on your calendar!

With the fullest of hearts, the entire NDI team welcomes you to our annual Alumni Homecoming on Saturday, March 11th at 11:00 AM at the NDI Center. Come visit with your NDI teachers and friends. Update us on your adventures, families, and successes! Watch the Celebration and SWAT teams rehearse excerpts from upcoming performances. And of course, we hope you’ll jump in and dance some of the NDI classics with alums of all ages! If you have any questions, please email Armelle Kessler at akessler@nationaldance.org.

Our Mission

The mission of the NDI Alumni Association is to support NDI through fundraising and volunteer efforts, while encouraging and inspiring future generations of NDI dancers. Alumni have the opportunity to reunite with their peers at the annual Alumni Homecoming, as well as other events.

If you are an NDI alumna or alumnus (or are in touch with one), we would love to hear from you. Please call us at 212-226-0083 or e-mail alumni@nationaldance.org to get back in touch with your friends at NDI.

Share your NDI story, what NDI means to you, and where you are now!

NDI Graduating Year (the last Event of the Year you participated in as a student):

Tell us what you’re up to now:

Would you briefly tell us about your experience with NDI and how that experience has helped shaped what you are doing now in your profession and/or daily life?

If you could build a time machine and travel back to re-live one NDI moment, what would it be and why?

Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?



 “I learned to engage with life in a joyful way. From Jacques to Ellen through the long line of teachers, NDI instills a passion for exploring the world that extends far beyond the classroom or dance studio.”

Peter Bartholomaus, Alumnus '99

“I learned fellowship, discipline, and that I’m valuable and important. I didn’t know to really appreciate what NDI did in my life then because I was so young, but I never forget that NDI always will be my family. NDI shaped my life.” 

Arnyce Foster-Hernandez, Alumna '90

“I learned that even though I have a disability it doesn’t hold me back from having special opportunities and doing things that other people do.”

Yomaris Batista, Alumna '92
