For nearly 30 years, Dance Project has been inspiring, educating, and entertaining Greensboro and the state, providing access to professional quality dance with a community feel. Guided by our core values of Community, Excellence, Generosity, Respect, Integrity, and Inclusivity, we strive to share dance as widely as possible!
Supporting the mission of Dance Project is a top priority for me annually. I love the work that it does, the people that it reaches, and the vibrant art that it generates. — Florence Gatten, Dance Project Donor
Dance Project has been a creative and artistic home for our daughter, Sophie. I am convinced her experiences here at Dance Project have laid essential groundwork for her future as a dancer and, more importantly, as a fulfilled human being. For that we are extremely grateful. — DaviD teachout & Ginny Williamson, Dance Project Parents & Donor
The organization is so special and unique because of its impactful mission and community-focused work. Everyone made me feel at home. ... Throughout my internship, I have not only gotten to experience working with the incredible youth at their school, but also had the opportunity to work with some very talented artists in the community through NCDF and the Artist in Residence Program. I now feel even more confident and prepared for a future career in the arts. — lena BroDauF, Dance Project summer intern
When asked why I support and donate to the Dance Project my answer is simple. The Dance Project is a program like no other. Dance Project provides creative minds with a great outlet to express their talents through dance. There are so many different options for dancers to choose from as well as the fact that everyone is treated like family. ... I am proud to be a part of the Dance Project. — olGa Paula De cruz, Dance Project Parent & Donor

...as we work toward a stronger community for dance!
You help us to nurture the next generation and continue to build a rich community of support for dance. We have set strategic intentions for the next several years that focus our attention on deepening community connections and creating a space where ALL people can see themselves reflected in our programming and infrastructure!
Thanks to your support, we were able to fulfill our mission to cultivate the field of modern dance in North Carolina, nurturing a community of artists, audiences, and students by providing opportunities for training, performance, collaboration, and employment.
Artistic DevelopmentThe Festival celebrated its 28th season of presenting professional modern and contemporary dance from NC choreographers, supporting their work and strengthening relationships between the artists.
Artists in ResidenceIn an effort to further nurture NC choreographers and support the development of high-quality dance work, we continued an Artist in Residence program, granting local choreographers free rehearsal space, and a chance to share their work.
Community PresenceDance Project operates a Community Outreach program that provides affordable access to dance, a powerful tool for self-expression, social action, and community-building.
Community EngagementWe continue to look for ways to get the community moving through free classes in LeBauer Park, performances, and our annual Dance Marathon, a 12 hour dance party!
Student ImpactIn the School at City Arts, the next generation of dancers develop creativity, confidence, and connection along with dance technique. Our highly-trained and caring teachers make this possible.
New PartnershipsWe are excited about the future possibilities emerging from our new partnerships with community groups like Triad Arts Accessibility Group, Proxemic Media in Durham, and multiple research studies on the effects of dance on the aging brain.
In the past year...
Looking to the future...
You make it all possible!
