Dance philanthropy has focused more on the operations of a successful arts organization instead of the production of high-quality art from talented dancemakers in this area. I have addressed this issue many times before on the overly politicized nature of dance in American culture, i.e. how much money (resources) you have and how many people you know. The question becomes: is the future of dance philanthropy based only on politics OR supporting, engaging, accessing dance that adds not only artistic, but economic value to the cultural fabric of our nation?
