San Diego Dance Convening #3
Join us for the third San Diego Dance Convening as we gather at Performing Arts Workshop in Encinitas for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and collective visioning.
This convening is an opportunity to connect with fellow dance community members who are shaping dance across San Diego County. Together, we’ll continue exploring what it means to build a thriving and sustainable dance ecosystem and how each of us can contribute to its future.
This gathering will feature a special Steering Committee panel, “The Hybrid Dance Leader: Leadership, Service, and Community-Building in Today’s Dance Ecosystem.” The conversation will highlight the many ways leadership shows up within our field and the realities of wearing multiple hats as artists, educators, entrepreneurs, administrators, and advocates.
Panelists Dr. Novien Yarber, Emily Miller, Dr. Grace Jun, Jane Blount, and Paola Castro will share insights from their own journeys, reflecting on leadership through service, balancing multiple roles, cultivating sustainability, and responding to community needs. Together, we’ll explore how leadership can emerge from curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to strengthening our shared dance community. This conversation is an invitation to see yourself as an active contributor to the future of dance in San Diego. Click here to learn more about the panelists and Steering Committee.
