About this organization
Mission
Formed to preserve dance heritage and promote dance literacy through the teaching and use of Labanotation to record and stage choreographed theatrical dances.
About
Library/archival services: The heart of the DNB's operation is its collection of 834 Labanotation scores of dances that have been choreographed by 287 different artists. This core collection is supplemented by related items that support the staging of the dances, including photos, videos, music scores and recordings, programs, costume sketches, and lighting and scenery designs - a collection that makes the DNB a unique archive in the world of dance. In July 2017 the score archive was relocated to a storage facility in Long Island City, Queens, NY. Patrons wishing to examine scores and related material may continue to do so by calling the DNB librarian and requesting the material be sent by email (via PDF scans) or by regular mail to their home or institutional address. The DNB's online notated theatrical dances catalog, accessible to anyone with an internet connection, allows patrons to browse information about each score in the collection. Many of the scores in the DNB archive have kept dances from disappearing over the years, including works by Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine. We add new scores to the collection each year, the product of our efforts to notate important old and new modern dance works and ballets.
