Info
National Dance Institute (NDI) was founded in 1976 by New York City Ballet principal dancer Jacques d'Amboise to put on dance classes for children.NDI works with mainstream, bilingual, and special education classes. Each year, NDI helps over 35,000 New York City public school students, their parents, teachers and local communities through classes, residencies and performances.
The classes provided by NDI are taught by professional artists, who work with 4,000 New York City public school children each year in their partner schools throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The majority of NDI dancers come from low-income communities, and all NDI programs are offered to children free of charge. NDI is a not-for-profit arts education organization, and the dance programs are tuition free. Among NDI dancers, 32% are Latino, 24% Asian, 23% Caucasian, 19% African-American, and 2% other non-white minority groups.
