The MAC is run purely on the efforts of volunteers from the Greater NY Chapter of USA Dance (NYUSABDA), a non-profit organization. MAC is the only all-amateur event which regularly awards scholarships to competitors of all levels. We do so through the generous donations from our supporters within and outside the dance community. All proceeds donated to the MAC Scholarship Fund go towards awarding scholarships to the dancers or to help defray the expenses of running the event.
For more information about supporting the MAC as a donor, send e-mail to macdonor@nyusadance.org. Or to attend the MAC as a VIP, send e-mail to macvip@nyusadance.org
