Dear Friends of Connecticut Dance Alliance,

After taking some time to regroup and refocus as an organization, the Connecticut Dance Alliance is back! Founded in 1999, CDA’s mission remains the same: “to increase public awareness of dance in all its forms and serving the needs of the state-wide dance community.” We are grateful to all those who have helped shape CDA through the years, and we’re excited to engage anew and build our future together.

Please join us at a virtual statewide Gathering on June 1st at 7pm. This CDA relaunch event features guest speaker Rufus De Rham (CT Arts Alliance) who will share valuable on-the-ground insight and best practices on the topic of Artists as Advocates. CDA Gatherings are a new series for the CT dance community to come together to learn, support, share and grow together. Register at the link in bio!

At CDA, we believe Alliance is our superpower. So, please help us expand our network. Share this message. Follow us on social media. Bring a colleague or friend on June 1st to learn about our new website (it goes live that day!), hear about exciting plans and new initiatives, and add your voice to the conversation about expanding and sustaining dance across our state.

Lastly, in our effort to help showcase the fabulous variety of dance happening across Connecticut, we invite you to please share a favorite photo or two of your work for possible inclusion on our new website. Please send your photo(s) and image credits to us at [email protected]. The photo in this post is one of those submissions!

Thanks for all that YOU do for dance in Connecticut!

On behalf of the entire CDA board of directors, I remain yours in community,
Peter Kyle, CDA board president
