Dance Project: The School

WE'RE BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY THROUGH DANCE.

We do this by cultivating the field of modern dance in North Carolina, and have spent the past 30 years nurturing a vibrant, engaged, and inclusive community of artists, audiences, and students by providing opportunities for training, performance, collaboration, and employment.

Our 501(c)3 non-profit organization encompasses the NC Dance Festival, a statewide tour of NC choreography; The School, our community dance studio in the Cultural Center; our Outreach Programming, providing free and low-cost classes and performances in community settings; and The Van Dyke Dance Group, which performs and manages the repertoire of Dance Project founder, Jan Van Dyke (1941-2015).
