If you are a dance artist, company, venue or fan, the California Dance Network is your free connection to the dance community in California. This growing website provides dance-related contacts throughout the state through an interactive map featuring dancers, teachers, performance spaces, dance suppliers, administration resources and more. You can also read news and reviews from around the country as well as post your own shows, workshops and events on a state-wide calendar.

Not only is this a free space to promote your own work, but by gathering and publicizing census data about the state's thriving dance field, we are letting our elected officials understand the enormous contribution-cultural and financial-that the dance field makes to the state of California every year. Help ensure funding and support by creating a profile and being counted in the dance census.

More about the California Dance Network...

The California Dance Network website was developed by an alliance of dance service organizations throughout the state in partnership with the California Arts Council and The James Irvine Foundation to strengthen, connect, unify, and promote the state's thriving dance field.

Along with connecting to the statewide dance community through the website profiles and dance maps, we encourage you to plug into your local community by joining the partner organization in your vicinity. Regional membership gives you access to more resources and detailed information about dance in your area, including events, funding, and advocacy.
