One thing I want to be sure I do on 4dancers is highlight those who are up-and-coming in the dance scene. While those of us who have been around a while have plenty to offer dancers that are younger, they have an energy and fresh spirit that can energize us–if we let it!
Today I’d like to point out a blog called The Motion Manifesto, written by Purchase College student, Rachael Pazdan.

Billed as a way to “Find the Latest Info on the Purchase College Dance Scene”, this lighthearted but passionate blog takes a look at what is going on in dance at this New York school. You will find things here like an interview with one of the deans in the dance department and photos/video of some of the dance performances that are going on around campus.
Purchase College offers a BFA in Modern or Ballet Performance, Choreography or Dance Production and a MA in Choreography or Performance/Teaching. They are also home to the Purchase Dance Corps, which is the performing company for the Conservatory of Dance at the school.
I’m so happy to see people out there blogging about what is going on in their part of the dance world–be it college, a dance company or even just a performance they attended. Through the magic of the web we can all see so much more of what is out there! Plus, I always enjoy the enthusiasum of young writers such as Pazdan who are involved in dance and share their love of it without reservation.
If you know of any other dance blogs that showcase young, fresh voices, please feel free to include them below in a comment for our readers to check out…
