It’s their costumes and shoes!


Each year, NDI outfits thousands of children for nearly 100 performances throughout New York City.  That’s a lot of t-shirts, pants and footwear!

At NDI, we believe that every child is a performer, and that every child should shine.  We ensure success for all of our young dancers, and while costumes don’t make a dancer, feeling good while dancing is part of our magic formula.

As a non-profit organization, it would be impossible for NDI to make this financial commitment to the children if it were not for the generosity of friends like you.

A tax-deductible gift of $5 will underwrite the cost of a dancer’s T-shirt.

$15 will underwrite the cost of a pair of dance pants.

$25 will underwrite the cost of a pair of tap shoes.

$100 will underwrite the cost of a dancer’s Event of the Year costumes.

And, $250 will underwrite the cost of a dancer’s costumes and shoes for the entire year.

A gift of any size will make a difference.

Please, donate now.

On behalf of the children of National Dance Institute, thank you for allowing us to shine…inside and out.

With appreciation,
