50 Years Of Teaching Kids Movement at the National Dance Institute

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 19, 2025

The National Dance Institute was founded 50 years ago to provide free dance education to children who would not be able to afford it, and children with physical disabilities that most programs are not equipped to work with. Today, it serves over 6,500 children in the NYC area. Artistic director Kay Gayner and board member Daniel Ulbricht, who is also principal dancer of the New York City Ballet, discuss the organization's mission, and it's work over the past five decades.
