2012 Dance/USA Annual Conference
For 2012, Dance/USA returned to San Francisco – home of its first annual convening 28 years ago. The conference brought together over 500 members of the national dance community making it one of our largest convenings to date, with attendees from 34 states and six countries. We introduced a vital new approach to the conference format - moving sessions out of a central hotel and into dance venues in the community.  We also put more focus on dance with a mid-day showcase. We are pleased our constituents found that the changes brought sought-after solutions and prompted innovative and thoughtful discussions.
