The Mark Morris Dance Group hosted a panel discussion on January 21, 2019 centered on discussing how staff and educators can be prepared to answer questions, provide resources and accommodations, and make dance spaces welcoming and inviting to dancers of all bodies and abilities from their very first interaction at the Mark Morris Dance Center. Additionally, panelists shared personal experiences about why they do or don’t come to class, what would make them feel welcome, and how we as a community-based Dance Center can support their dance practice; full video of the panel is available below: CLICK HERE TO VIEW DISCUSSION
