DANCING IN THE STREETS presents FREE adventurous, community-based, public performances in unexpected places. Since moving to the Bronx in 2011, Dancing in the Streets aims to reclaim, revitalize, and promote natural, architectural, and cultural treasures of the borough; and contribute to its cultural renaissance through free community-based public dance, interdisciplinary, and site-specific performances and community and educational programs.

In fall 2014, Dancing in the Streets established a long-term partnership with the not-for-profit South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (SoBRO) through which the two organizations are developing initiatives that will use the arts as a catalyst for developing a safe, vibrant, and economically sound South Bronx that serves community needs and reflects and fosters the distinct character and cultural history of the South Bronx.
