"I wanted to share the good news that I was recently recognized as an Individual Legacy Artist by the California Art Council, one of 8 Legacy Artists to be recognized in Zone 1 which includes OC and the 5 counties to the South and East. I appreciate your support of dance and dancers. It has certainly expanded our horizon."

Ramya Harishankar, Artistic Director, Arpana Dance Company

"We can’t thank DRC enough for the continued investment and support of B. Dunn Movement and the LA dance community. Having access to these opportunities that otherwise might prove a bit more challenging create space and inclusion for diverse art makers to be seen and heard. I feel DRC continues to hold true to that mission of equity and inclusion.”

Brigette Dunn Korpela, B. Dunn Movement

“Dance in Los Angeles is experiencing an incredible renaissance and at this vital time, having an active and healthy Dance Resource Center serving as a thoughtful and progressive leader is critical."
