Shamiar Spann creates opportunity for content creators with new dance network

Why did you insist on a network as opposed to a show?

Dance is greater than just one show. It is multifaceted, and it is very limitless in nature. I wanted the opportunity to have a platform where all aspects of dance could be expressed and shown to the world. People do not know how much heart and dedication dance truly takes. I thought a network would be the best way to depict all of these things.


What type of content are you looking to place on your network?

We are looking for content that showcases the transformative nature of dance and performance. We want to highlight individualism and relationships.


Why is it important for Black women to collaborate with one another to achieve success?

If there is one thing Black women know how to do, it is survive. This is something special because that allows us a certain amount of intelligence, intuition and strength that our counterparts do not have. Although we are outnumbered and the odds are against us, there is nothing we cannot do if we unite. That is one of the main reasons I love dance. To produce a favorable outcome or performance, you have to collaborate. You have to be in sync.
