ClancyWorks Dance Company (clancyworks.org) serves as a resource and community partner for programs that highlight dance in advancing positive social action, “shifting” perceptions through performance and making personal connections among diverse participants. Amid COVID-19, many programs moved online to continue providing dance classes and professional development opportunities. Systemic racism, the other pandemic affecting society, is addressed by exploring ways the arts can be used to break barriers and promote equity.
