In the United States today, it takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears to keep dance companies, especially contemporary modern dance companies, afloat.

It never bothered me, I did it for the experience and the networking. Eventually, I found myself working for a mid-level company in Chicago that could pay me for some rehearsals, always paid me for shows and even gave us per diem when we toured. I think I can ...

The New Dance Alliance (NDA) took over Joyce SoHo last week for its 24th annual Performance Mix Festival, which brought together over thirty dance, music, video, and interdisciplinary artists from the US and abroad. The festival, produced and curated by NDA Director Karen Bernard, supports emerging artists by providing them with performance opportunities, rehearsal space, and career development residencies. Thursday evening’s lineup offered typical results of the festival format – some good, some bad – but it was an eclectic group of performers who showed an impressive range of styles and ...

Tap away those summertime blues…
January 30, 2010 · Posted by Dance Advantage ·
Most studios have a slim schedule during those summer months of June, July, and August, leaving most of us trying to find intensives or other options to stay in shape and keep on top of our game. For teachers and studio owners, this is time for rejuvenation and much-needed relaxation.

Tap festivals are everywhere and are probably coming to a city near you! These fabulous wood-shedding events allow tap dancers of all ages, levels, and backgrounds to meet together and ...
