Join Dance/NYC in Celebrating Disability Pride Month

This May, we invite you to submit video messages that may be added into a Disability Pride Month montage for July. Dance/NYC is extending its NEW YORKERS FOR DANCE campaign with statements by New Yorkers for Dance who are integrated and disability dance artistry creators, performers, advocates, educators, and audiences.

It's Easy to Participate

• Tell us how you advance integrated and disability dance artistry:
  “I’m __________ and I am a New Yorker for Dance.”
  “I advance integrated and disability dance artistry by _________.”
   
• Record your response in one continuous video or multiple video clips, approximately 10-60 seconds long.
   
• Try to find a well-lit space and be relatively close to the camera, looking directly into the lens or directly facing the camera, so that those engaging visually can see you. Dance/NYC encourages wheelchair users to include their wheelchair in the video frame. If possible, please frame your video horizontally.
   
• Share passionately and with conviction. If you are speaking, speak loudly and clearly so that those engaging aurally can hear you.
