About the Izzies

THE ISADORA DUNCAN DANCE AWARDS COMMITTEE seeks to honor local dance artists and promote their visibility, primarily by acknowledging outstanding achievements within a twelve-month period of performances, running September 1 through August 31. The "Izzies" awards, created in 1984, are designed to celebrate the unique richness, diversity and excellence of Bay Area dance.

The Izzies Committee members are choreographers, dancers, teachers, critics, writers, and arts administrators who serve one- or three-year terms.
