Dance anywhere/everywhere
“Bringing Dance To The People”
Since 2011 we have served Northwest Arkansas and are thankful to continue investing in this community we call home. 2024 saw us...
On the main stage in productions featured in venues around NWA.
At educational events in museums, libraries, and schools.
With our community at First Friday, Art Walk on the Bend, Art de Centrale, Lighting of the Bentonville Square, and our very first Nutcracker Land of Sweet Dreams Pajama Party at Pinnacle Country Club!
On the screen sharing our programming and message with the region through Good Day NWA.
Visiting our neighbors at the local children's shelter, Children's Hospital Northwest, and retirement center citizens.
