The Kansas Creative Arts Industries presents DANCE KANSAS: Dance Forums 2022 to give the dance community a voice in identifying strengths and needs so we may better define the dance ecosystem in our state. Our purpose is to amplify the cultural and economic assets dance can bring to the community. This discussion is led by a team representing Dance USA, higher education, professional dance companies, and statewide organizations.
Please join a diverse and broad-ranging group of voices from the Kansas dance community to set the groundwork for moving dance forward in Kansas. Your registration lists affinity group options to select in Dance Companies, Dance Teams; Dance in Education; Dance Studios, and Dance Community Organizations.
