Dance Rising NYC is a platform for embodied advocacy that affirms the importance of dance in all its forms, makes dance visible in a re-opening landscape, and sparks crucial conversations about the future of our field in NYC.

How we do it: Via hyper-local dance-outs, advocacy actions and large-scale video installations we are working to keep the dance field visible in NYC.

Who We Are: Dance Rising was formed in August 2020 in response to the pandemic. It is produced by a collective of NYC dance artists and administrators and is a fiscally sponsored project of The Field. Dance Rising is presented in partnership with Dance/NYC.
