New Dance Alliance

Incorporated in 1989, New Dance Alliance (NDA) is an arts service organization whose mission is to actively promote emerging forms of innovative dance, music, video, and interdisciplinary performance. NDA’s initial aims were to support an artistic community which has limited institutional resources, and to provide that community with increased opportunities to share experimental works with the public. Today, NDA’s goals remain deeply rooted in those founding principles and have expanded in response to current artistic challenges and goals. NDA’s programming fosters artists and audiences through annual events, retreats, educational panels and performances. Our four main programs are: Performance Mix Festival, NDA Exchange, NDA Space Grant and Karen Bernard/Solo. Collectively these programs support the work of more than 100 experimental artists and 2,500 audience members each year.\
