Philadanco

In 2010, The Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco) will be celebrating 40 years of providing exceptional dance performances and training to many communities throughout the Us and abroad.
This past year, Philadanco performed at venues such as Central Park Summerstage in New York City and The Victoria Theater at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and has returned from a noteworthy tour, spending February -March 2008 in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands and Hungary.
More importantly, Philadanco believes in and continues to provide quality arts instruction to young people with authentic learning experiences that engage their minds, hearts, and bodies.
The original mission of Philadanco, "to present the highest quality of professional dance performance, and to provide exceptional training for the improvement of skills for emerging professional dancers and choreographers in a nurturing environment while increasing the appreciation of dance among its many communities" has withstood time, budget cuts and the passage of time.
Since its inception in 1970 The Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco) has had a significant impact on the dance world. As a cultural ambassador representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia, its artistic direction and renowned national and international guest choreographers have developed a reputation of producing a dance repertory with passion, power, skill and diversity.
