The concept underlying the non-profit organization Dance Archive Network is to overtake the responsibility of the archives of the Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio.
Dance archives are rich resources filled with records documenting the history of dance and providing insight into creative processes and cultural contexts. They can provide sources of inspiration and raw material for artists, educators, and scholars. Dance/USA is the national service organization for dance, serving a broad cross-section of the dance field. Here they have consolidated access to dance archives around the country.
