The Dance Rising Collective, a new collective of artists and administrators created in partnership with Kinesis Project dance theatre, The Field as fiscal sponsor and advised by Lucy Sexton of New Yorkers for Culture & Arts, presents Dance Rising: NYC, a hyper-local dance out across all five boroughs October 1 and 3 from 5:00-5:30pm. NYC professional dancers will take to the parks, windows, streets, and rooftops to dance, focusing public attention on an industry that remains largely on pause due to COVID. Everybody identifying as a professional dancer, choreographer or teacher is invited to take part.
Dance Rising: A Hyper-Local Dance Out taking place on October 1 and October 3rd from 5:00 - 5:30pm EST. NYC dance professionals are invited to take to the windows, rooftops, stoops, or wherever and DANCE!
WHY? Because our life's work and economic livelihood has been deeply impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. We are rising up to be more visible in our communities, connect with our neighbors, and begin important conversations about how dance and dancers will survive in a post-pandemic reality.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It means that we are making dance visible in a reopening landscape and showing that there is dance in every home, heart and borough of the City. We are an integral part of the culture and economy of the city and we want to be SEEN and HEARD.
WHAT DO I DO?
1. Go to the Dance Rising NYC website: https://www.dancerising.org/

3. SIGN UP to participate!
4. TELL FRIENDS, colleagues, dancers, teachers, etc. so they can join in too! Please spread the word to your networks! All styles and traditions of dance are welcome.
5. On OCT 1 and/or OCT 3 between 5:00-5:30pm, grab a friend to film you and dance indoors or outdoors. We will send you a link to upload your video and/or you can share on your social media platforms; these videos will continue to live on in a phase 2 project that will bring dance to the public spaces of NYC via video.
