DanceUSA is a wonderful resource for finding out the latest news in the dance world. Dancers can come become a member of the website and reap all the benefits of the organization and its website. One can find job opportunities all over the world in their database, connect with other dance professional, attend conferences, and even receive discounts on classes at certain studios around the country who are members as well.

There are many dance alliances and councils out there that are strictly for supporting artists. Organizations like the National Endownment for the Arts even provides funding and grant opportunities for dancers. Check out your local county and state to find the arts council or dance alliance. They probably are connected to other organizations. For example, the Tucson-Pima Arts Council loves connecting artists with other practicing artists. In the past, TPAC has provided grants to dancers who use their art to improve and/or enhance the community.

Speaking of finding opportunity, here is a great article written by a dancer for dancers in the E-magazine of DanceUSA. It is really great lesson for all serious dancers to learn. See the link below:
