Since 1994, Boston Dance Alliance (BDA) has been supporting the local dance ecosystem by creating shared resources and forging productive partnerships to help dance flourish in Greater Boston. BDA’s aims include increasing access to dance for diverse communities, building dance audiences, and fostering the sustainability of dance locally.
BDA’s 2026 Annual Celebration!
Join BDA for a special afternoon at the Boston Lyric Opera & Community Studios on Sunday June 28th, 2-5pm to commemorate another year of community support, partnerships, and appreciation for the incredible artists, members, staff, and supporters who keep BDA going.
Celebrate with devoted dance artists as we present the 2026 Dr. Michael Shannon Dance Champion award to: Peter DiMuro, Dance Complex Executive Artistic Director and Laura Young, former Boston Ballet Principal, Teacher, and Administrator. We are also proud to present the 2026 Unsung Hero Award to Lynda Rieman, BU Dance Theater Manager.
Help support BDA’s future together as we recognize the power of dance through the generations while raising funds for BDA’s mission.
