Forward Stance: Engaging the Field
Bringing Our Community Together in this Moment of Transition
Dance/USA is proud to launch the Forward Stance: Engaging the Field tour—a virtual series inviting Dance/USA members and the broader dance field to connect directly with our new Executive Director, Michele Kumi Baer, as she shares her vision for the organization’s future.
Through open dialogue and collective reflection, the tour aims to foster deeper engagement, surface shared priorities, and give life to the path ahead. (This is not a lecture-style presentation — expect an interactive meeting format, with the ability to unmute and pose questions or share your thoughts.)
Three of the five sessions below are open to both members and non-members; June 16 and 17 are member-only sessions. Everyone must register for the session in order to be admitted into the Zoom room, and each session is 90 minutes. If you can’t attend the session designated for you, you’re welcome to join one another session open to you. Our registration form will direct you to choose another date/time.
