The Times Square Mental Health Peers and Allies Dance Event brings joy, movement, and community into the heart of New York City. Taking place at West 44th Street & 7th Avenue in Times Square on Friday, October 10 at 6:30 PM, this free outdoor gathering invites peers, allies, and supporters to come together for an evening of dancing and celebration.
Participants will join in three group dances — beginning with the Cha Cha Slide and continuing with other crowd favorites — in a vibrant show of unity for mental health awareness. Attendees are encouraged to wear teal, the international color of mental health advocacy, though all colors are welcome. Afterward, an optional community meetup will provide space for further connection.
This 30-minute dance event is about more than movement — it’s about visibility, support, and building connections across New York’s mental health community.
