🔥 The moment we've all been waiting for. 🔥

After months of auditions, mentorship, rehearsals and hard work, the Step It Up NYC Finale lit up United Palace in the Bronx.

Ten incredible teams brought the energy, creativity and passion — using dance to shine a light on issues that matter to young people across our city.

🏆 1st Place: Coalition of the Arts
🥈 2nd Place: Center of Attention
🥉 3rd Place: Reign of Distinction
⭐ Social Impact Campaign Award: Secret Society

👏 Congratulations to all of this year's finalists for reminding us that dance is more than movement— it's a voice and a platform for change.

🧡💙 It’s Wear Blue and Orange Day.

We’re joining New Yorkers across the city in showing our support for the Knicks as they continue their historic Finals run.

Whether you’re in the classroom, at work or cheering from home, show your city pride and wear blue and orange. 🏀

Always in our orange and blue era.
🧡💙
