From Blog Director Jill Randall:

Looking back at the 136 artist profiles and monthly features from the past 4 years, I have selected 23 blog posts to use within a college Senior Seminar Course. These posts offer graduating seniors a window into work happening around the United States and the many paths dancers take towards performing, building a company, choreographing, and teaching.

You can share the links below, or print out the posts to place in a reader. Each post takes 5 minutes or less to read.

Feedback and stories are always welcome – randalldanceprojects@gmail.com.
