DANCE RISING VIDEO TOUR
(Still Dancing)
Keeping Dance Visible in NYC
In March 2020, the NYC dance world came to a halt.
Theaters shut down, and an entire industry that depends on proximity -- rehearsing and teaching in studios, performing on stages and film sets -- found itself isolated and out of work.
​
In Fall 2020, we invited dance artists to step into public spaces to remind themselves and New Yorkers: Dance is a creative force in our city.
​
In March 2021, we premiered these videos throughout New York City as a tribute to a year of dancing through quarantine.
