Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has again been selected by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) as grantee and administrator of the second season of DanceMotion USA. This cultural diplomacy program, which shares the United States’ rich dance culture with international audiences, sends four American dance companies on cultural exchange tours to four world regions beginning in early 2012.
Building on the success of the pilot season, the upcoming season will also feature one additional US company, thereby enhancing its reach to global audiences, especially those in underserved areas. It will also include a US-based cultural exchange, in which an international dance ensemble will travel to the US to share its culture through dance as well as experience American culture firsthand.
