"And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. ANd the people began to think differently.
And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed"
--Kitty O'Meara

Hello Friends of Dance!
We're thrilled to announce the 14th Annual "Virtual" Dance Parade Worldwide on Saturday May 16th starting at 1 PM EST. Leading up to the parade we've launched a Dare-to-Dance Challenge, an open call to choreographers to connect
to their dancers remotely during this period of isolation and social
distancing. Three winning videos will be awarded with
cash prices, and their new work presented at the virtual parade. (details below!)
We will get through these tough times. And dance will help us find our way.
Stay safe,
Greg Miller & Team Dance Parade

Dance Parade will present three one-minute videos in our Virtual Dance Parade Saturday May 16th starting at 1pm.
We invite choreographers of all genres to tap into your creativity to
come up with a minute of dance movements with your professional
dance company, club, or school.
Our goal is to inspire and challenge you
to connect to your dancers who are
in social isolation using video technology. Each dancer can shoot a
phrase or use Zoom technology to create group movements. Thanks to the generosity of Nancy Steele of STEELE DANCE three cash prizes will be awarded. Submission deadline May 7th.
