Forza Dance

Forza Dance creates non-traditional performance experiences to break barriers and bridge gaps between age, gender, culture, assumed hierarchies, and allow a more intimate human connection between audience and performer. As a multi-faceted arts organization, Forza Dance provides free to low cost development opportunities for emerging artists. Forza Dance strives to make dance accessible to all with unique networking events and performances that support the longevity of our field.

Forza Dance builds a community of artists passionate about creating a more innovative, transparent and equitable future. Our community understands the weight artists hold in driving cultural change and works to listen, shape, and share all voices. We support artists through constant changes within the industry with the proper resources and guidance. We inspire, research, and welcome all people and ideas to develop a more compassionate world through dance education and performance.

Forza Dance aims to achieve our goals through multi-faceted, community based programming including, workshops, performances, events, and outreach. Within our programming we uphold these values:
Empathy: We prioritize empathy. For us, this begins with a mutual understanding and love for all members of our community and beyond. 

Development - We implement a wholesome approach to learning that provides space for the development of each individual voice. We foster physical growth through our versatile class offerings and artistic understanding through our mindful seminars.

Transparency: We aim to create an honest and communicative

environment - no matter your role within our organization - in efforts to dismantle institutional hierarchy.

Autonomy: We trust the competence and independence of each individual in the space. We value the contrasting needs of our community and craft our spaces to truly see each individual. 

Accessibility: We believe each and every artist should have access to the tools they need to thrive. We offer scholarships, sliding scale and donation-based events, and virtual opportunities to connect with our community.
