DancePass is a program designed to support Philadelphia dance professionals so they can participate more fully in the lively city they have helped to create. By partnering with presenters, producers, and now restaurateurs and other businesses we are able to offer many discounts to DancePass holders. Every Tuesday an email is sent to DancePass holders notifying them about that week’s performance discounts. Discounts vary and are at the discretion of the venue/presenter. The 09-10 DancePass is effective July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010. There is a $10 registration fee.
Eligibility
DancePass program is available only to members of the Philadelphia professional dance community - artists, administrators, educators, technicians, etc. Professional activity must fall within the last 12 months to qualify.
