ABOUT MANAFest Gala

Dancers Unlimited is turning 14 years old, and we canʻt wait to celebrate with you!

From our humble beginning as a free community youth dance program on Furlough Fridays, to touring internationally in China, and now a bi-coastal nonprofit 501(c)3 in Hawaiʻi and NYC, we do it all because OF OUR COMMUNITY - YOU.

The MANAfest Gala celebrates a joyous and successful year of working, dancing and learning together with our community. From Brooklyn to Queens, our community has filled us with so much joy and mana (spiritual energy).

The event is part of our MANAfest campaign: raising $50K for 2024 programming. Your support is crucial for the sustainability of our programs.
