ANNOUNCEMENTS

February 2010 To commemorate the new decade, the ADAM campaign/initiative will now serve the global dance community. The needs of the professional dance community has grown at such an alarming rate that companies are going bankrupt with some shutting down completely, salaries are diminishing, dancers are getting fewer performance opportunities, and health insurance issues are worsening. It has become more necessary than ever to explore creative strategies that will help revitalize this fragile performance medium.   Mina Communications is here to help. To share your concerns/needs, email j.rios@minacommunications.com.

September 2009 Due to the effects of the economic climate, the 2009 August Dance Awareness Month campaign/initiative was only able to provide publicity assistance to the dance community. Dance related events that were tentatively scheduled in August were postponed. Changes to the direction of the ADAM effort have however been adopted. As of 2009, the ADAM initiative has been extended beyond the parameters of San Diego. Publicity assisitance is now available to the Southern California dance community during the month of August.

January 2009 MINA COMMUNICATIONS wants to hear from dance communities outside of the San Diego area that share similar patronge challenges. If you would like to introduce a Dance Awareness campaign/initiative to your community, contact Jasmine Rios at 619.851.3920 PST or minacommunications@gmail.com.
