Since its inception in 2010, the NYCDA Foundation has awarded $5 million in college scholarships to dancers. Each year, it hosts a College Scholarship Audition in partnership with 16 colleges and universities at our National events—opening doors for aspiring dancers to pursue their professional dreams.

The Foundation has played a pivotal role in launching the careers of many NYCDA alumni, and we’re committed to continuing that momentum. You can help us grow this impact by participating in our Annual Summer Auction, where every dollar raised goes directly to scholarships for dancers like you!

This year’s auction features over 50 exciting items tailored for dancers, dance parents, and theater fans alike! A few highlights include:

• 7 unique coaching and mentorship sessions with NYCDA faculty and assistants
• Photo shoots for headshots and dance action shots
• Live Q&A with MSA, one of the industry's top talent agencies
• Hotel stays at several NYCDA regional host locations
• Workshop scholarships for upcoming events
• A $600 Broadway.com gift card to use on several Broadway shows, plus a bag full of collectible show memorabilia
