Description

How do you bring audiences along as you expand their definition of an art form? That’s the question Jane Raleigh has grappled with throughout her career. 

As the former Director of Dance Programming at the Kennedy Center, she spent more than a decade transforming the institution’s siloed approach to dance into a continuum that celebrates both classical works and contemporary voices. Now, as the founder of DC Dance Network, she’s creating new ways for artists and audiences to engage.

In this episode, Jane shares her approach to stretching audiences’ comfort zones without losing their engagement, building pathways that link programming with community impact, and shaping a more connected, resilient dance ecosystem.
