Dance Rising NYC continues promoting embodied advocacy for the dance field by bringing the dynamic energy of dance to small businesses and public spaces. Dance Rising is again partnering with Bakery on Bergen and is collaborating with Studio 305 Fitness to bring dance to Astor Place, hosted by the Village Alliance. These partnerships with cultural organizations and local businesses across the city, Dance Rising reminds New Yorkers that the dance industry is an essential part of NYC’s cultural identity.
Formed as a grassroots collective at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dance Rising NYC has become a platform for embodied advocacy that affirms the importance of dance in all its forms. Two years later, the dance sector of NYC is still in crisis after a full year of fighting for recognition as a field in need of support by the state and city during the first year of the pandemic. Dancers live in every neighborhood in the city - and this sector - filled with skilled, empathic, tenacious artists and workers - can lead a vision for the arts in New York City: one where every New Yorker can be inspired and moved by arts and culture.
