33 years ago, the West Virginia Dance Company was founded with the distinct purpose of enriching lives
through dance. Today the WVDC continues performing through a blend of entertaining and thought-provoking modern works
that generate enthusiasm in audiences of all ages. Highly trained and seasoned professionals make up the Company, whose
repertoire includes pieces that are influenced by West Virginia's rich cultural heritage. The WVDC is the only professional
touring dance company in the history of the state. It has performed extensively in West Virginia as well as 14 other
states and Brazil. At the height of its touring season, an average of 50,000 students are reached through the art of
dance. Public, college and university performances are an important area of WVDC's touring seasons. For many
students, the WVDC is their first exposure to the arts.
It is the goal of the West Virginia
Dance Company to empower students with the truly that they too are born with a great imagination that produces creativity
that can be shaped into innovation.
Our
Mission
It is the mission of the WVDC to provide projects and performances at a statewide level that will
offer the best value and quality within the framework of West Virginia and 21st Century Learning Skills and multi-cultural
perspectives.
