Let's Move: A National Dance Day Celebration

Celebrate National Dance Day at the Museum of the City of New York in partnership with AILEY! Join us for an unforgettable celebration of community and social dance in New York during two high energy dance classes open to all ages, inspired by the exhibition Urban Stomp: Dreams & Defiance on the Dance Floor, now on view. First, learn New York-style mambo basics with renowned dancer Katherine Jiménez, then dive into hip hop dance and culture with the Bronx’s own TweetBoogie. Don’t miss out on this inspiring day of joy and movement!

12:00 – 1:00 PM: Mambo with Katherine Jiménez

Join us for one or both sessions! Participation is first come first serve and does not include museum entry.
