Organization Description

Mission statementThe Creative Dance Center, founded in 1981, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing dance education and performance opportunities to people of all ages. Our mission is connecting body and mind to transform lives through dance. We envision a joyful and collaborative community that knows how to move and how to move the world. Our focus on creativity, collaboration, and developing mind-body connections allows students to learn and grow in an environment where personal uniqueness is celebrated, respected, and honored. We recognize that people of all ages are capable artists. We encourage students to express themselves through exploration, improvisation, reflection, and choreography. Students who experience this approach to learning have the opportunity to become skilled dancers, critical thinkers, innovative creators, successful collaborators, and respectful responders. This is at the heart of the teaching methodology we use in our classes, Brain-Compatible Dance Education (BCDE), developed by our Founder Anne Green Gilbert.
