A FREE EVENT!
Join us for an unforgettable evening at the 5th Annual Gold Coast Dance Festival (GCDF) on August 2, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the stunning Morgan Memorial Park in Glen Cove, NY! (Rain date – Saturday August 9th)
This year, we will bring world-class performers to our beautiful shores, featuring breathtaking acts from celebrated institutions like Broadway, Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, and New York City Ballet, all offered free to our vibrant community. As we aim to raise $15,000 to support our mission of providing dance education and resources to aspiring dancers from low-income families and at-risk youth, your participation in our event will play a crucial role, whether an audience member, a donor, or a sponsor. Together, we will celebrate the transformative power of dance and ensure that this art form remains a beacon of inspiration and creativity for future generations on Long Island. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a magical evening that uplifts our community through the joy of dance!
