Help Rebuild CYDC My Way After Devastating Fire
This past Wednesday, a massive fire broke out in the building next to CYDC My Way, our beloved cultural and dance studio in Brooklyn. The fire and emergency response efforts, as reported by News 12 Brooklyn, caused significant damage to our space — the heart of our community.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
But the impact on our studio, our students, and the families who rely on us has been devastating.
For years, CYDC My Way has been a creative sanctuary — a place where children and teens grow through dance, arts, and community. Now, all of our programs are on hold. The music has stopped. The doors are closed.
We Need Your Help
As we assess the damage and begin the rebuilding, many people have asked how they can support us. This GoFundMe campaign is our answer!
100% of the funds raised will go directly toward restoring our studio and reopening our doors to the students and families who need us most.
Your donation — no matter the amount — brings us closer to recovery.
It helps cover:
1. Repairs to our facility
2. Replacing damaged equipment and materials
3. Restarting our youth programs and classes
As a thank you: Every donation of $100 or more will receive 1 ticket to our upcoming Silk Road NYC Festival on June 1st, 2025 — a celebration of resilience, culture, and community.
We are heartbroken, but we are not giving up! With your support, CYDC My Way will dance again.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
