Review+Response: 7 Performances in the SF Bay Area in 2023

From Blog Director Jill Randall:
Thank you for another wonderful year on Life as a Modern Dancer. As the year comes to a close, I always enjoy looking back over the months and highlighting a few of the posts. Thanks for checking out the list and clicking on some of the links.

Here's to a great year ahead! I am excited to update the City Guides and MFA Program List on the site, as well as develop co-authored posts about somatics, early childhood dance education, and using the Braindance.
