The { Dd } Story

The three of us — Candice, Stephanie, and Nicole – are dancers and were originally brought together by LOLAstretch Dancewear. We found a commonality in the diverse interests that set us apart as individuals outside of the dance studio and we quickly became friends as well as colleagues. We each desired to explore other art forms and creative pursuits without feeling like we were ‘cheating’ on the often all-consuming art form of dance.

Our Mission:

{ DIYdancer } brings together dancers, artists, collaborators, and friends to empower our arts community from the inside out. Through an online forum and NYC events, we aim to build awareness, facilitate conversation and constructive critique, and support artists’ development as individuals and professionals. DIYdancer strives to inspire curiousity in order to help ourselves branch out and return to the art form we love—pushing the boundaries and blurring the lines.
