DANA FISCH
Rentals Manager and Program Coordinator
Dana Fisch, originally from the Kansas City area, received her Bachelor of Science in Dance Management at Oklahoma City University. Since graduating, she has had a very successful career wearing many, many hats: dancer, choreographer, producer, stage manager, and administrator. Some of her favorites: Dance Captain & Tap Dancer for NJ Tap Dance Ensemble (Deborah Mitchell, director), studio manager for Battery Dance Company (Jonathan Hollander, director), Stage Manager & Tap Dancer for Tap Extravaganza (produced by the NY Committee to Celebrate National Tap Dance Day), Company Manager & Jazz Dancer for Push Factor Dance Company (Jacqui Young, director), and Tap Dancer for Mazel Toes (Shelby Kaufman, director).
All of her experience culminated when she founded Undertoe Dance Project. Fusing the artistry of contemporary jazz dance with the percussive rhythms of tap dance, Undertoe performed in and around the tri-state area for nearly six years at venues including Manhattan Movement and Arts Center, 92Y Harkness Dance Center, 14th Street Y, and in festivals such as the Downtown Dance Festival, Choreographer’s Canvas, Figment NYC, and Dance Parade. Signature events were annual New York Seasons, the Astoria Dance Festival, the Undertoe Dance Festival, and Tappy Hour (a recreational tap class for adults).
Dana is thrilled to join the Dance Matters NYC team! She is excited to help this wonderful organization grow and thrive in Queens, where she lives with her husband, two sons, and a pup.
