DANCE FIELD SURVEY
In the meantime, Dance/NYC will redirect its efforts to serving and advocating on behalf of the field and supporting dance makers, cultural workers, and organizations as they navigate the impacts of the virus. As you may have seen yesterday, Dance/NYC released Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information and Resources for the NYC Dance Community which includes a timely and necessary survey to the field to help us understand the impact that the coronavirus is having on you and your work.  We encourage you to participate and share it widely. We value your input and will use it to create public awareness and guide policy, resources, and program development for dance makers, cultural workers, and organizations based in the metropolitan New York City area.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
