ABOUT MARCH DANCE

March Dance is initiated by the Independent Dance Alliance (IDA), a collaboration between Critical Path, DirtyFeet, and ReadyMade Works. The 2022 festival will be led by Critical Path and DirtyFeet, who have joined forces with other companies and organisations to support artists’ participation in this month-long dance festival, celebrating the culture of independent dance in Sydney.

The objective of March Dance is to help support all stages of career development; with this in mind; we have expanded on our criteria and guidelines. We want to help the sector gain knowledge and skills in grant writing, budgets, and self-promotion. The information we gather is also used to help support the festival growth each year, assist us in gaining funding and sponsorship, and create an even stronger festival in 2023.

March Dance is supported by the City of Sydney and the Keir Foundation.
