Dance Wire's mission is to enhance the prosperity and visibility of the Greater Portland dance community while inspiring more people to get involved in dance. Prosperity: We don't believe in the glorification of the starving artist. All our prosperity programs help dance organizations and artists not just survive, but thrive. Visibility is the one thing that every business needs to thrive. We provide a centralized network of dancers, companies, studios, venues, choreographers, teachers, students, and audiences. This serves to connect and strengthen the entire dance ecosystem. Inspiration: One concept that drives all of our work is that dance offers something for everyone. there is no such thing as too old, too fat, too poor, too shy, too inflexible or too uncoordinated to enjoy dance!
