The evening will include presentations, testimonials, silent auction, and a dance lesson. This year’s special 35th anniversary celebration promises fun surprises.

Our total outreach across last year’s programs included 1,500,000 people.
We use dance to engage and empower NYC students through performance and education. MDD’s dance education program, Partnerships in Literacy through Dance and Creativity©, was heralded as “a national model” by the National Endowment for the Arts. President Barack Obama commended Dr. Mark DeGarmo and Mark DeGarmo Dance for “your service to your communities and the nation.” Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer designated Nov. 17, 2017 as “Mark DeGarmo Dance Day in Manhattan.” Miss America 2019 Nia Imani Franklin performed at Dance for Dance 2019 and endorsed DeGarmo’s education programs.
