DANCING MATTERS

Dancing Matters, Dance Parade's "Book Club for Dance" will bring people together in a diverse meetup group centering dance performances and experiences in an open and honest discussion shared in public and online.  Inspired by and partially modelled on the Peformance Club founded and run for several years by writer Claudia LaRocco, Dancing Matters invites amateurs, dance professionals and enthusiasts alike to join in the adventure of seeking out dancing worthy of critical consideration and support in the metro New York City area.

I have removed the Movement Research showings at Judson Church since they specifically state that performances will not be open to review. Will follow tomorrow with a breakdown of selections from La Mama Moves since we can only select one

WestFest at Westbeth Housing is happening on April 27-30. Info here: www.westfestdance.com/

Thank you, Joe!
