Dance Forum SOUTH
Building off of Dance/USA’s Dance Forum at APAP and Dance Forum WEST, Dance Forum SOUTH brought together a wide variety of individuals working in the dance industry to network and explored how dance is presented and performed in the South. Dance/USA collaborated with SouthArts in 2017 to bring Dance Forum SOUTH to PAE in Atlanta. This pre-conference session was interactive and featured a combination of large and small group conversations. Multi-disciplinary presenters were welcome and encouraged to attend.
Dance Forum SOUTH was FREE to PAE Registrants and $25 for individuals not registered for PAE.
