Welcome to the Global Underscore (GUS) 2023 Sites page!
As a dancer, you can search here to find a GUS Site to dance at. As a GUS Site facilitator, you can organize a GUS site (Full Score Practice is best!) and register it below. You can also register for the Global Talk-Through and the Meta-Sharing.
GUS Site facilitators: below are the Options for Participation — options for what kind of GUS site you want to be. Check out your Time Zone for the GUS practice, the GUS Talk-Through, or the GUS Meta-Sharing. GUS EVENTS.
Soon there will be a link for a Packet for facilitators, though we have gotten feedback that participants like to see the info as well! The Packet is updated constantly as new GUS site registrations come in. We “finalize” the Packet on Wednesday, 21 June 2023, and then send out the link for the Packet to everyone.
