Here is a site focused on the preservation of dance and dance communities. The focus seems to be on documentation in various forms to preserve various works of dance. It is a resource that many dance artists and groups could benefit from. The foundation is called The Pew Charitable Trust. It bears passing on. <A HREF="http://www.save-as-dance.org" TARGET=_blank>http://www.save-as-dance.org</A> <P>{URL only, edited by grace}<p>[This message has been edited by grace (edited July 02, 2000).]

I really do like what they do. Here's from their front page:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>SAVE AS: DANCE is a national partnership funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts to advance the ability of dance artists and dance communities to document and preserve their work and traditions. <BR>It is comprised of the National Initiative to Preserve America’s Dance (NIPAD), administered at Dance/USA, formerly administered at The John F.

Part of saving dance is also about finding $$$.
