Site-Specific Dance Hub is...
... a unique program combines research attributes of a residency and educational qualities of a workshop, and provides a stipend for selected participating artists.
In 2023, the Hub’s theme was the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop.
This program is brought to life with the support of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs.
