The Foundation manages all production, marketing, and ticket sales so that artists may concentrate on their artistry. Through this administrative support, the lab becomes a nurturing environment for choreographers, where their work may be seen by important decision-makers in the field as well as colleagues and prospective supporters.

If selected, creative project support includes:

• A choreographic stipend
• Discounted rehearsal space
• Social media marketing support
• A post-Q&A gathering with choreographers and audience
• Photos & videos of your performance for your future marketing needs
• New! Free attendance at the Choreography Lab Workshop Series starting 2025/2026
• One choreographer, selected by the Director of Professional Training Programs, will receive a paid commission to choreograph for the Steps Conservatory
• Pieces selected are considered for future Steps Beyond and Steps on Broadway performances
