Dear Friends,

Our 10th anniversary of the NYDF is upon us, and we are as excited as if it were our first. We’ve shared countless beautiful moments over the years, and we can’t wait to be together again to celebrate this milestone in style!

Here’s what’s new for 2026:

💥WE ARE NOW IN THE BIG BALLROOM!
New York Hilton Midtown’s Grand Ballroom is a sight to behold and will now be the home of the New York Dance Festival! But don’t worry—you will still get to revisit our beloved Trianon Ballroom for Kids Day on Sunday.

💥NEW SCHEDULE!
NYDF will have a more compact schedule, with the Camp running from Monday to Wednesday and the Competition from Thursday through Sunday.�Please check the website for details.

💥NEW! PRO LATIN & STD “JACK & JILL”
Let’s show the world that ballroom dancers can really lead and follow! Enter as a pair, then be randomly assigned a new partner and show us what you can do! FREE to enter and featuring full professional prize money, generously sponsored by the NYDF Fund. This exciting event will take place during the Thursday evening Gala—an evening you won’t want to miss!

NYDF is now an official NDCA Championship event. We thank the NDCA for granting us this prestigious status and promise to continue upholding the highest standards of our organization for the benefit of the entire industry.

And of course, everything you’ve come to love about NYDF is back:

✨World-Class Expert Panel of Adjudicators
✨Custom-Curated Music
✨FREE entry to the ballroom for all competitors for their respective sessions
✨Top Junior divisions in the evening
✨NYDF Camp featuring some of the best teachers in the industry and the inimitable “Dance Till You Drop” Practice Rounds

...and so much more of what has made #NYDF a tradition of its own.

See you in February!

With sincere personal regards,
@eugenekatsevman & @mariamanusova
