Dancing Opens Doors


Over three years (2022-2024), Dancing Opens Doors is raising funds for programs of high need and potential across all areas of NBS’ programming—including professional training, recreational programs, and Community Dance—and spotlighting special initiatives of unique promise and positive impact.

 

In Dancing Opens Doors Year II: Inspire, NBS will help more people discover limitless possibilities through dance. Dance is an art form that inspires through appreciation and participation, and at NBS we’re passionate about both: from creating an extraordinary range of digital resources that help people of all ages and abilities fall in love with dance, to Community Dance programs that help more people see the dancer in themselves, to elite training that ensures a vibrant future for the art and artists that inspire us all.
