The Traverse City Dance Project & The Accidentals are teaming up for the TCDP No-Distance Festival - Dance the Vote Edition! This virtual performance will include the premiere of The Accidentals "How Many Hands" music video to highlight the importance of unity and voting in these times.

About the No-Distance Festival

The Traverse City Dance Project is proud to present the No-Distance Festival, an online music and dance festival in support of artists during this unprecedented crisis. Curators Jennifer McQuiston Lott and Hajnal Pivnick have assembled and commissioned teams of choreographers and composers to create together from the safety of their homes. The festival is an ongoing celebration of artistic creativity under extreme limitations.
