The Open Source Dance environment provides another career

  alternative than the conventional options currently available

  for the new professional dancer.  It is an environment of

  collective individuality amongst peers, and with artistic and

  intellectual freedom, allows for investigations into every aspect

  of a 21st century contemporary dance identity while providing

  a place where all the tools gathered from a rigorous dance

  education can be put into practice immediately, greatly

  enhancing the progress of a professional dance career.
