What engages you?

Since we’ve recently had the pleasure of entertaining some new readers, (welcome!) I thought it might be fun to open up a discussion about what elements of a dance performance we find the most interesting or engaging.
What elements do you think contribute the most to your enjoyment of a show?
What elements do you think would get you the most excited about attending a show?
- Cost
- Popular music
- Recognition of an artist involved (dancer, choreographer, visual artist, musician, designer…)
- Location/Venue
- Lighting/Stage design
- Collaboration with other art forms
- Use of digital media
- Interactivity (audience participation)
- More information/education about the performance beforehand
- A social gathering in conjunction with the performance?
What helps set your expectations about what you are about to see?
If dance is in danger of becoming less relevant, and less a part of people’s lives, what can we do to change that course?
