Hi friends! We recently hit 500 followers on this page, and we just wanted to say thank you.
On the surface, 500 may not seem like a huge number. But for a new dance festival in a region that has not historically had a large, established dance infrastructure, it means a lot. When Sukanya Burman Dance was first founded, and when the Jamestown Dance Festival was first imagined, we heard the question โ๐๐๐ฎ ๐

For a page created specifically to share and promote this festival, reaching 500 followers on Facebook, along with nearly 300 more on Instagram, feels genuinely meaningful. It tells us that this work is resonating. It tells us that people are paying attention. It tells us that dance can take root here.
Through the work of curating, presenting, and growing this festival, Jamestown is slowly but surely becoming part of a broader dance conversation. Artists from outside the region are beginning to recognize Jamestown as a place where dance can be presented, supported, and taken seriously. At the same time, local and regional artists are reimagining what their own artistic lives can look like from right here in the 14701, nestled within the most southern part of the 716.
We are grateful for every follow, share, comment, ticket purchase, conversation, and moment of encouragement along the way. And we look forward to continuing to grow the festival and the presence of dance in our community. More immediately, we cannot wait to see you at the Jamestown Dance Festival next week!
