Dance Notation Bureau

Dance Notation Bureau

The Dance Notation Bureau (DNB) is a New York, New York based repository of dance scores in Labanotation founded in 1940 with significant holdings of films, videotapes, photographs, programs and posters. At August 2007,[1] it has commenced active work on the notation of dance works following a hiatus since October 2005.[2] The work is both privately and publicly funded, including the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts and has a $500,000 endowment.

The DNB will be developing a database and digitizing its collection, including scores of dance works by approximately 165 artists, including George Balanchine, Paul Taylor, Antony Tudor, Bill T. Jones, Doris Humphrey, William Forsythe, José Limón and Laura Dean.

The use of notation can support the performance of dances when interpreted with DNB assisting about 40 works to be performed each year, including 20 under license from the choreographer or their heirs.

The DNB's Extension for Education and Research is at the Ohio State University.
