“Art has the power to render sorrow beautiful, make loneliness a shared experience, and transform despair into hope. Laughter, song, and dance create emotional and spiritual connection; they remind us of the one thing that truly matters when we are searching for comfort, celebration, inspiration, or healing: that We are not alone”. ~ Brene Brown
Our Mission: To share the healing power of movement
Our mission is to share the healing power of movement and promote personal growth and empowerment through performance dance, choreography, dance education, and storytelling in a safe and inclusive environment for all. We provide local dancers and artists opportunities to collaborate, share their craft, and contribute to our community. Our performances and fundraisers aim to create a welcoming environment and inspire others to express themselves, collaborate, and be heard. We partner with local nonprofits and families each year to share stories of finding purpose amid adversity. Using dance, music, and art, we raise awareness about mental health and address topics such as domestic violence, teen suicide, brain injury, different abilities, and addiction. Our goal is to inspire the audience to find their own "dance" and let them know they are not alone in this journey called life. Just imagine your favorite TED talk or podcast collaborating with your favorite choreographer!
“You will always be moved when you are in good company.”
