◆ Performers: I Love Dance

I LOVE DANCE (ILD) was launched in 2006 by MJ Choi, and since its founding, it has evolved to galvanize the K-POP culture in the greater NYC area. Today, it provides K-POP Dance Classes in Manhattan, Flushing, and Fort Lee NJ where classes are filled with a fun-loving, diverse group of KPOP fans that share a very special bond. A truly unique characteristic of I LOVE DANCE is that despite its predominant K-POP focus, more than 90% of its membership is non-Korean. The classmates of various backgrounds meet not only to learn dance, but also to socialize and embrace each other’s uniqueness. Truly, this has been a testament to the growing popularity of the K-POP culture, as well as the unifying characteristic of dance as an art form. Currently, I LOVE DANCE has about 700 members enrolled in dance class each month. Beyond offering top notch Dance Classes, I LOVE DANCE produces professional K-POP Cover Videos (30+ Million aggregate views to date on YouTube), hosts Flash Mobs, offers dance performances and workshops, and works to serve as an ambassador to spread K-POP culture in the US.
