The Joyce Theater has put together a stunning list of resources from around the world for anyone who loves dance. From performances to at-home dance classes, interviews, and more, you can still enjoy the beauty and creativity of dance from wherever you are. Below are some highlights from the list!

Ted Talks have grown in popularity in the past decade, and now the website is loaded with excellent conversations and performances from a wide range of topics. Their collection of dance is quite unique as well. Watch an Indian dancer tell her story of recovering from cancer through movement, or see the excitement of Dancing with Light, which combines special FX and dance to create a spectacular performance, and much, much more.
