Board of Directors
Our Vision…
To create a community of dancers with diverse backgrounds who feel welcomed, accepted, respected, and appreciated. We celebrate a common love of the arts and performance as a unifying thread and strive to share this passion with a diverse audience that feels moved, inspired, and valued.
We are committed to the growth and development of the people that dance with us, both as humans and dancers. We support the company as a collective unit through our core values:
Community
Caring
Culture
Creativity
Equity
We universally embrace and support all individuals. We aim to present opportunities for company members, community members, sponsors, and supporters to recognize, embrace, and celebrate difference and diversity. In turn, we will work as a collective unit to find ways to connect disparate segments of the Bozeman community through artistic expression. We recognize that everyone has something unique to offer.
Our goal is to provide a safe place for ALL to explore dance, movement, and performance as an all-inclusive, universal force that connects and inspires people regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, abilities, or any other consideration.
