DUNHAM INSTITUTE, INC.

Promoting & Preserving the legacy of dance pioneer
KATHERINE DUNHAM

The Dunham Institute, Inc. is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the legacy of dance pioneer Katherine Dunham.  Through the provision of our quarterly newsletter (Dunham.Dance.Groove) and our bi-annual magazine (La Danse Noire), we preserve the Dunham legacy.  We also collaborate with partners to present summer intensive viable after-school programs.  Our signature program, "A Day of Dunham," celebrates and promotes all facets of the legacy and includes historic panel discussions with workshops. The event culminates in an awards presentation that celebrates living legends, practitioners, and gives posthumous recognition to our pioneers.
