Dance in the Desert
Dance in the Desert (DITD): A Gathering of Latinx Dancemakers, is an initiative founded by dancemaker and artist organizer Yvonne Montoya. DITD is an initiative that addresses systemic deficits in dance in the Southwest by providing a space that redresses geographic isolation and centers local expertise. DITD employs culturally competent methodologies to build meaningful relationships among Latinx dancemakers in order to expand social capital.
