This magazine highlights the creativity and collaboration of DMP716 Dance Collective dancers through an array of unique photoshoots—powder, fabric, commercial dance, aerial hoop, and more. These sessions offer dancers the opportunity to build their portfolios, gain on-camera experience, and collaborate in a supportive and affordable environment. In addition to showcasing these shoots, this issue features insightful contributions from professionals with roots in Buffalo and nearby, as well as from contributors building their platforms in the dance world. Their experiences offer inspiration and guidance to dancers pursuing their own paths. Members of the DMP716 Dance Collective have used this program as a springboard for their professional dance journeys, and this magazine is a testament to their growth, artistry, and potential. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, mentorship, or an opportunity to be part of this collaborative program, this edition has something for everyone.
