ETD’S MISSION

Eryc Taylor Dance (ETD), founded in 2006, is a nonprofit dance company dedicated to fostering community connections through diverse and inclusive artistic expression. ETD's mission is to address significant social and environmental issues through the medium of dance. The company creates and presents original performances and dance films, offers master classes, commissions new works, and promotes collaborations among artists. Additionally, ETD supports emerging choreographers with grants and curates movement workshops and programs for underserved communities. Through these efforts, ETD strives to inspire change and bring awareness to critical issues across New York City's five boroughs and beyond.

SUPPORT ETD PROGRAMMING

With donations and support from our patrons, ETD has recruited and hired a talented team, engaged freelance collaborators, and a devoted board who have turned the company’s lacks into gains and are actively working to increase ETD and ETD Outreach’s programs and opportunities. These funds supported the development of new work such as Factory|Refractory, the annual New Choreographer Grant (adding a fourth recipient in 2023), and covered salaries and administrative costs.
