Isadora Duncan Dance Awards
- Isadora Duncan Dance Awards
The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards or Izzies honor San Francisco Bay Area dance artists for outstanding achievements in a range of categories including: choreography, sustained achievement, individual performance, company performance, costume design, and set design. The awards are presented annually and named in honor of Isadora Duncan. The awards began in 1986 and were revitalized in 2004 via a partnership with Bay Area National Dance Week after a slump due, in part, to a perceived lack of credibility.[Cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/03/10/DDGH35HDHV1.DTL|title=Izzies Making a Comeback|accessdate=2008-05-01|year=2004-03-10|author=David Wiegand|work=The San Francisco Chronicle] ][Cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2007/04/26/DDGHRPF7MU11.DTL|title=Dance Awards Buoyant, Despite a Tremendous Loss|accessdate=2008-05-01|year=2007-04-26|author=Rachel Howard|work=The San Francisco Chronicle] ]References
