Trying to expand the boundaries of dance and change the current perception of what a dancer is.
Dance performances are not necessarily exhibitions of extreme physicality, accurate precision, or bursting emotion - they can be celebrations of interaction between performers. We can enrich dance concerts with dancers, singers, actors, narrators, mimes, acrobats etc., of all ages and all degrees of ability.
Bringing new people into dance is a challenge, but also opens a great door in times of economic crisis. In every country there are millions of people with physical or mental disabilities. We believe they are ready to dance.
Integrating marginalized persons into the practice of dance is as important as integrating them into the workforce.
USA Dance holds to the philosophy that everyone can dance.
