ABOUT DANCECHANCE NWA
Created in 2021 by dance artist Karen Castleman, and inspired by a similar initiative in Chicago, DanceChance NWA is a bi-monthly choreographic showcase grounded in community building between artists, students, audiences, and friends. Three local choreographers are randomly selected for each DanceChance. DanceChance NWA is a platform providing an opportunity for local and emerging choreographers to present new work, with very few barriers to engagement. DanceChance NWA encourages participation through conversation crossing unseen lines between audience members, choreographers, and dancers.
