“The thing I love about Dance/NYC is that it is a concrete place for community. There’s a website, people to talk to, an email, so we know it exists in a real way. I think community can feel like an idea but it’s hard to pinpoint it. I feel like Dance/NYC gives us that pinpoint of community." —Monica Bill Barnes
