Calling all AAPI dance artists...LET'S GATHER!
AADF Gatherings are an ongoing series of networking events for AAPI dance artists of all genres and roles - choreographers, performers, teachers, educators, presenters, and advocates of ballet, jazz, tap, modern, contemporary, hip hop, cultural dance forms, etc. Gatherings provide dance artists the opportunity to come together, make connections, share stories and experiences, learn from one another, and develop shared resources in a community rich setting.
Planned for once every 2 months, each AADF Gathering focuses on a different topic or need of the community.
