DANCE NOW Announces Holiday Gift Boxes

DANCE NOW has announced three holiday gift boxes designed for both newcomers to dance and longtime fans. Share the DANCE NOW Story with someone special this holiday season!

In 2020, as theaters, stages, and studios went dark, DANCE NOW created yet another "outside the box" space - dancenow.online - featuring works by more than 40 innovative dance makers as part of the 25th anniversary DANCE NOW Story. The platform is the organization's commitment to keeping its artists working and creating safely in these challenging times. The DANCE NOW Story is available in three holiday packages tailored to fill your holiday gifting needs. Gift boxes are available through December 29, 2020.
