National Dance Institute is a not-for-profit
organization founded in the belief that the arts have a
unique power to engage children and motivate them
towards excellence. Using professional artists and a
distinctive combination of dance classes and
performances integrated with music, literature and the
visual arts, children learn how to work together to
reach for their personal best. Over 2 million children
have participated in NDI programs. NDI was founded in
1976 by world-renowned New York City Ballet dancer
Jacques d’Amboise, and since 1995 has been under the
artistic leadership of Ellen Weinstein. For more
