Project Dance: All-Day Outdoor Dance Concert

An all-day outdoor dance concert took place yesterday in Times Square as part of PROJECT DANCE events this year. Project Dance is a volunteer organization whose mission is to bring hope and healing to culture through the universal language of dance. Since the foundation’s inception in 1996 and its incorporation in 2003, it has become a volunteer organization that serves more than 1000 dancers worldwide. Jazz, modern, ballet, tap, hip-hop, acrobatics, lyrical, ballroom, and swing were all part of yesterday's concert stage as in past years. Every style was celebrated in keeping with the foundation's belief that dance has the power to change lives.

Project Dance, an outdoor dance concert took place yesterday on a temporary stage on the corner of 44th Street and Broadway. “The purpose of the outdoor dance concert is to share our talent with the public and to communicate a message of hope and healing through the language of dance,” explained Cheryl Cutlip, founder of Project Dance. Project Dance was formed 10 years ago out of a desire to serve the people of New York City directly after the events of September 11th. Although the weekend was designed to give participants the opportunity to perform and take master dance classes, Project Dance also strives to inspire dancers as artists and individuals. Some of the activities over the weekend focused on the intersection of faith and art.
