The purpose of this study was to examine the cases of community dance in America and to find out how to revitalize local dance. For this purpose, Marylee Hardenberg, who played a major role in the Mississippi River revival through a site-specific dance performance, Pat Granny's Dance program for Prisoner called 'Keeping the Faith' and Brooklyn's Care for the disable in a community dance program by Mark Morris were examined. In conclusion, the methods of activating local dances include first, use of specific places to create site-specific performance, second, development of programs for prisoner which can communicate with local publics and third, development various community dance program for disable.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of site-specific dance performance based on the characteristics of the site. To analyze the types, I examine articles, interviews, reviews, and internet sources about site-specific dance performance. In conclusion, the general site type is not just the dismantling of the boundary between everyday life and the arts but has the characteristic of a place that provides an opportunity to remind us of our ordinary life through the connection of the subject of work from the characteristics of the everyday venue. The site of specific meanings type is a museum with its own cultural and historical meaning, or the theme of the work is connected from the characteristics of a place where free access by the general public is not possible, and through this, an opportunity to create partnerships with local communities and institutions. The episodic site type is that the subject of the work is connected from the discarded and useless place, and through this, it provides an opportunity to reflect on the historical meaning of the past and concerns about the issues currently occurring at the performance venue. This type has the characteristics of a place that presents the possibility of regenerating the place again.
