This summer, The New York Times is publishing essays by its critics about the moments or works that prompted them to write about the arts â€" along with stories from readers about their own epiphanies. Previously we heard from readers who work in television and classical music.
This week, Alastair Macaulay will write about the work that set him on the path toward becoming The Times’s chief dance critic. So we want to hear from dance professionals about what inspired their careers.
If you have a job that revolves around dance, we want to hear about the piece, performance or other experience that led you to dedicate yourself to the art form. Please submit a comment below describing what you do and how a dance experience led you to your career; keep submissions under 250 words.
We will present some of your stories alongside Mr. Macaulay’s essay. We look forward to reading about your dance inspirations.
