DNA Subsidized Administrative Space Program
Dance New Amsterdam (DNA) is a unique arts organization that provides an arena where dancers at all levels of training,
from novice through professional can study, create and perform. DNA's mission is to provide the tools and support necessary
for artists to establish viable, healthy long-term lives as dancers. DNA acts as a laboratory in which ideas and vocabularies
are exchanged and where artists may present their work before audiences.
Dance New Amsterdam's Subsidized Administrative Space program (SAS) was created and designed for dance artists and choreographers
seeking to establish themselves in New York City but have been unable to find affordable administrative rental space given the
current New York City real estate market.
Dance New Amsterdam's SAS program provides up and coming choreographers as well as established choreographers and companies
dedicated administrative office space located within the executive offices of Dance New Amsterdam at a subsidized rental rate of $250 monthly.
For those applicants selected Dance New Amsterdam will provide access to the following.
 Office hours 9:00am - 8:00pm* (Monday - Saturday)
Private cubicle with lockable storage and file drawer
Computer with internet access and printer
Phone with a private extension and receptionist
Office supplies**
Fax and photocopying**
Access to DNA facilities including conference room for private meetings,
rest rooms, locker rooms, kitchen and faculty lounge
Approximately two hours monthly of private consultation with DNA staff
in finance, development and marketing***
Access to potential teaching and performance opportunities.
*Flexible schedules available
**Limited to availability and usage
***By appointment only
DNA's community of artists, dancers, musicians, patrons and students provides a stimulating environment for SAS participants.
Resident companies will receive professional guidance based on an initial annual assessment of each company's unique challenges,
goals and objectives. Directors of SAS companies will be given special consideration for employment within DNA's school programs
including the Modern Guest Artist Series.
