Created on March 16, 2020, in response to the global lockdowns, DAT compiled and shared information about online dance offerings via its website and Instagram account . Almost overnight, it became a ”go-to hub” ( Dance Magazine ) for virtual dance classes, receiving 100K unique website users in its first week of operation and amassing 36K Instagram followers at its peak. DAT began phasing out as dance organizations found their footing in the pandemic, ceasing all activities on January 1, 2021.
DAT did not host classes or events itself, but instead collected and curated information about virtual dance opportunities in three content categories:
Creativity Tonic | Nurturing a healthy imagination in challenging times
JCWK Dance Lab – Creating Joy, Connection, and Wellness through Kinesthetic Storytelling
Harmony Bench, PhD | dance, media, and performance studies
dance matters | Watching and Writing Dance in San Francisco
Seacoast West African Dance and Drum – Sharing the music and culture of Guinea, West Africa
