Our mission, from its earliest days, has been to nurture experimental movement-based artists, and bring their works to life. NDA has an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion of historically marginalized Black, Brown, and queer innovators. We provide space, residencies, and performance opportunities to help artists cultivate relationships, develop their work, and share their inventions with the world.
New Dance Alliance fosters diversified local, national and international artists and audiences through annual events, retreats, educational panels, and performances. Our main programs are Performance Mix Festival; NDA Studio Program: Black Artists Space to Create, LiftOff Residency, Satellite, Work Session; and Karen Bernard Projects.
This season we have increased support and the number of artists in our LiftOff Residency providing 36 hours of free space to 8 artists, Work Sessions and a $500 stipend. LiftOff artists are invited to present work in the Performance Mix Festival.
By funding these programs, You’re helping to support the work of more than 100 experimental artists. We need you! Any amount helps towards continuing these valuable programs.
Help New Dance Alliance support our artists. Each donation is 100% tax deductible.

“Congratulations on your Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours initiative. I hope you all feel delighted with the experience. I must admit that it challenged me to do something a little bit out of my zone. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The first project featuring my son! It will be an unforgettable moment when we will look back at it in a few years.”
