DanceMedia Pirouettes to New Ownership

No immediate staff changes are expected.

There are five publications in all: Dance magazine; Dance Spirit magazine; Pointe magazine; Dance Teacher magazine; and Dance Retailer News, a business-to-business publication. Macfadden Communications Group, which had owned Dance magazine since 2001 and the rest of the DanceMedia portfolio since it was created in 2006, has sold the lot to Frederic M. Seegal.

From today’s announcement:

Seegal, vice chairman of Peter J. Solomon Company, has made his career advising major media, telecom and internet clients. He brings to DanceMedia a seasoned knowledge of and passion for the performing arts, having served as president of American Ballet Theatre’s Board of Trustees, and as trustee for New York City Center, San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco Opera.
