Our Vision
To foster a vibrant dance landscape across the city that attracts and retains dance artists, plays a vital role in the Atlanta economy, and builds, engages, educates, and inspires.
Our Values
DanceATL shares knowledge. We provide resources that foster creativity and communication among artists and audiences to build community around dance in Atlanta.
DanceATL collaborates. We believe in participatory design, intersectionality, diversity, and accessibility in all its forms.
DanceATL preserves. We provide a platform where the full range of the city’s artistic voices can write, archive, and document Atlanta’s dance.
Our Mission
DanceATL nurtures and promotes dance as a vibrant part of Atlanta’s arts ecosystem. We connect artists to resources, grow and engage audiences in the city, and support the full range of the industry by cultivating an awareness and appreciation of dance that is sustainable and expansive.
DanceATL provides resources, promotion, and collaborative opportunities for the dance community in metro Atlanta. Project activities focus on advocacy, professional development and information resources, and are designed to gather and disseminate information, convene individuals and groups around key issues, facilitate networking, and stimulate the communal voice.
