New Web Resource Serves Critical Space Needs of NYC Dancers

August 1, 2003
 

NYC DANCE PLACES, www.nycdancespaces.org:

• enables dancers — in genres from ballet to tap, jazz to modern — to find rehearsal and performance spaces throughout New York City's five boroughs.
• lists hundreds of spaces as varied as the dance community in New York City.
• is free, easy to use and saves dancers valuable time and money.

www.nycdancespaces.org asks users for basic criteria, such as size of dance area, audience capacity, neighborhood and rental rate per time period, etc. Once these criteria are entered, a list of "matches" appears. Details include dimensions of the dancers' area, audience seating configuration, closest public transportation, available personnel and equipment, and more specifics on rental.

NYC Dance Places provides contact information for all facilities so that the user may arrange a site visit or check availability of a potential space; the NYC Dance Places website does not book the spaces.

Exploring the Metropolis, the nonprofit sponsor, is the only organization that has as its sole focus resolving the workspace needs of performing artists. It is committed to identifying and helping to create spaces for the performing arts through both web and non-web services. More information about these resources is available at www.xtmnyc.org.

The strategic partners of NYC Dance Places are Dance/NYC, Dance Theater Workshop and The Field.

We hope you'll explore www.nycdancespaces.org and share news of this new and important dancers' resource.
