There are moments when a mission stops feeling like an idea and starts feeling like a movement. 💜
In Volume 2, Issue 2 of DanceLife Magazine, ICDR Executive Director Jamie Hodgins shares a deeply personal reflection from the road to Dance Masters of America Nationals and the experiences that brought the purpose behind One ME | One ID into even sharper focus.
For decades, dance has celebrated talent, artistry, dedication and achievement. But behind every performance, every title and every milestone is something even more fundamental: the dancer themselves.
Their identity.
Their journey.
Their story.
And that should always belong to them.
From conversations with respected leaders across the dance community to hearing directly from the newly crowned Miss Dance of America and Mr. Dance of America, one message became incredibly clear: dancers deserve a trusted way to be recognized for exactly who they are and to carry that verified identity with them wherever their journey leads. ✨
That is the heart of One ME | One ID.
Not another barrier. Not another governing body. A bridge connecting our community and giving dancers, studios and families a secure, simple and completely free way to protect the identity behind everything they accomplish.
We are incredibly proud to see this story featured in DanceLife Magazine, and even more grateful to everyone across this industry helping turn that vision into something real. 🤍
