Dance is essential to the human experience. Honor the body, connect to the spirit, and appreciate the potential in both. Respect every artist’s unique voice and vision, including your own. Foster an environment of trust to create opportunities for risk and innovation. Celebrate the ephemeral nature of dance; respect its roots, traditions and history.
