Overview
Mission
New Dance Alliance is a performing arts nonprofit. Our mission, from the earliest days, has been to support experimental movement-based artists. In recent years, we have shifted our focus, making an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion; creating programs centering the work of artists from historically marginalized communities. We provide space, residencies, performance, and networking opportunities that help artists cultivate relationships, develop their artistry, and open doors to share their work in the US and internationally.
What it reported doing in 2024
NDA Studio Program subsidized rehearsal space, LiftOff Creative Development Residency, and Satellite Residency supporting artists creating movement and dance works, WorkSession, and KB Projects. The LiftOff Residency took place at NDA's Studio in Tribeca and provided six New York City physical-based performance artists with a minimum of 36 hours of rehearsal space, a $500 stipend, and two feedback sessions. The sessions took place Fall/Winter November-January and Spring March-May. Satellite provided 20 physical movement-based artists with free rehearsal space at NDA's Studio in Tribeca. Satellite artists booked a minimum of 8 hours from November to January and March to May. Additional hours were provided as available.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
