National Dance Institute (NDI) will return to the Ziegfeld Ballroom for our Annual Gala on April 17, 2023.  We are thrilled to honor Academy Award-Winning actress, dancer & singer Ariana DeBose, as well as philanthropists and long-time patrons of NDI, Carmen and Ray Debbane.

The highlight of the Spring social calendar, NDI’s Annual Gala raises $1.5 million in support of our award-winning arts education programs for thousands of children in New York City public schools each year.

This eagerly-anticipated event will begin with a festive cocktail reception followed by an elegant sit-down dinner punctuated by a spirited live auction, an honors presentation, and special performances by the children of National Dance Institute that will send guests’ spirits and hearts soaring!
