The Dance/USA conference kicks off in Houston tomorrow night, and like responsible social media enthusiasts, we’re going to be twittering/tweeting from the event. Or, as some of our content partners have called it “twitting”, “tweetering”, “teetering”, or “twatting”.

To follow our updates, you can either follow @tendutv, or follow the hashtag #dusa.

We’ll be twittering almost the entire time, with the exception of council meetings, due to the fact that people need to be able to speak openly when consulting with their peers.

The theme of the conference is “Sustainable Future: Reality Check!”

We are especially curious to see how this theme is addressed. Change comes neither quickly nor easily to this sphere of the arts, and we would certainly be disappointed to see a mandate or a focus put forward that continues to dilute or destroy the underlying value of the field. Is sustainability, and the changes required to reach this goal, going to be truly emphasized, or are we just going to be served a lukewarm meal of the same pie cut into different shapes and smaller pieces?

We’ll see.
