  • Graddmd.com is the Dance Music Database (DMD) is a streaming music library created in support of the Graduate Teaching Associates in the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University. Created in response to the special needs of dance instruction, covering a wide variety of styles, the DMD gives GTA's a cost-free and comprehensive collection of music to support pedagogical best practices in the studio.  Previously, musical support for unaccompanied dance classes was contingent upon the teachers' personal music collections, and limited by the cost of purchasing new music.
