We live in uncertain times. As dancers, the last thing we want is to be cooped up inside, not knowing when the next time we can take class, compete, or perform with our teammates will be. IDA has compiled a list of free or low-cost resources for dancers during this time of uncertainty. We hope you will take advantage of some of the amazing opportunities that have been born out of this crisis.
