Dancers is an anonymous art collective from Canada known for making short audio pieces in a variety of styles. In 2001, the group began working on a multi-part recording project, Three Hundred Songs, but it wasn't until 2006 that its first collection of short songs, (1) from Three Hundred Songs, was realized. The cd/download was the first release on Jibcut, a Canadian independent music label. Since then, two more discs from the Three Hundred Songs project have followed, each a disjointed assemblage of audio collage, art song, pastiche pieces, sonic experimentation, and hybrid folk idioms. Each release was accompanied by artwork in jpeg and pdf form. The number of members is uncertain but one-time participants known to have recorded with the group include Toronto area musicians, Donna Orchard, Don Kerr, and Doug Friesen.

Dancer, and other pro-racing legislators and leaders, are pushing a proposal under which the casino industry will provide funding for purses--perhaps up to $90 million annually during an initial three-year period--in lieu of slots at the racetracks.
Dancer is having legislation drafted that would extend the state's 6-percent sales tax to Internet purchases beginning in 2004; the federal law that currently prohibits states from charging sales tax is set to expire at the end of this year.
Dancer also is sponsoring legislation that would eliminate the capital gains tax on the money farm owners receive for selling their property's development rights to the state under the farmland preservation program.
