A Note from Carolinda and Andrea

As restrictions begin to lift in the U.S., we are once again reminded of the resiliency of dancers, companies, choreographers, and those who love the art form. We are constantly amazed by the impossible things you have accomplished each and every day throughout this very challenging year and hope you take a little time to celebrate.
We're certainly celebrating! We could not be more grateful for your support during this time. American Dance Abroad is no stranger to difficult times - we were founded in the middle of a recession afterall. But this year is different in so many ways. You made it possible for ADA to assist American dance companies in preserving their foothold overseas and seed new ventures in addition to safeguarding our programs so that they are ready to go when international doors re-open.
American Dance Abroad is deeply devoted to strengthening international visibility and opportunities for the breathtaking artistry of American dance. This vital work creates international cultural bridges in ways that few organizations can.
Soon (fingers crossed!), we will be traveling internationally to promote American dance, which is at the heart of all we do.

Rapid Response, a travel subsidy program to assist American dance companies and artists who receive invitations to perform, teach, or conduct creative research outside of the United States, reopened its submission portal on June 1. The June 1 deadline has been extended to June 15.
Any professional U.S. dance company can request Rapid Response support once the company or individual has received an invitation from an international programmer, festival, or venue. Rapid Response is intended to help artists say "yes" before a programmer's timeline gives out, and to provide leverage to raise additional travel funds and to respond quickly to requests. Amounts will generally range from $1,000-$2,500, and are paid as reimbursement.
Requests for support are reviewed quarterly. Remaining deadlines for 2021 are:
September 1 (for engagements on or after November 1), and December 1 (for engagements on or after February 1).
Decisions will be generally announced within two weeks of each deadline.
