Goddard Gaieties

These dances are by invitation only. If you wish to purchase tickets online, please click here.

In 1947, Goddard Riverside held its first charity dance for youngsters from Manhattan private schools and launched an annual tradition. Now hundreds of 5th to 7th graders attend the Goddard Gaieties every year.

The spirit of the Goddard Gaieties – fun, safe, social events for a good cause – has endured but little else is the same. Jeans have replaced party dresses, a DJ plays a mix of popular music in lieu of a live orchestra, and square dancing has been replaced by the latest steps.

Below are the dates of the 2011/2012 Goddard Gaieties:

• September 23rd: 7th Grade Gleek Out!
• February 10th: 6th Grade Valentine Masquerade
• May 4th: 5th Grade Carnivale
