Help Support NDA on Kickstarter

Help us meet our $10,000 goal by June 15 & get awesome perks when you do so!

New Dance Alliance is looking for your support to continue promoting and providing resources to experimental performance artists.

We believe:

  • All voices need to be heard—the alternative and the new, those pushing boundaries and defining fresh genres and those who have made a difference historically.
  • Art allows us to see things in new contexts.
  • Experimentation and collaboration support greater understanding.
  • A single voice can provide inspiration for others.
