American Dance Abroad's mission is to expand international visibility for American dance by creating opportunities upon which longer-term, mutually beneficial relationships can be built. Major support for American Dance Abroad's projects is provided by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's Fund for National Projects. americandanceabroad.org
