Our Vision is to increase the vitality of the traditional dance, music, and song community in North America!
Our Mission is to provide an accessible non-corporate online platform that hosts communities of traditional dance, music and song organizers and performers with the goal of supporting each other across geographical boundaries.
The Shared Weight lists were founded by leaders within the realm of traditional dance, music, and song. In 2019, the lists came together under one umbrella to support each other and strengthen all of the lists.
