Desert  Dance  Theatre


Arizona's longest established dance company, connecting communities through dance since 1979.

A HISTORY OF DANCE IN ARIZONA

ABOUT THE COMPANY

​Desert Dance Theatre is a contemporary dance theatre company that was founded in 1979. The company has performed and/or toured Arizona, Mexico, Texas, California, Nevada, Vermont, New York, and New Mexico. Its Artist-in-Residence and Arts-in-Education programs include a variety of quality programs offered to schools and communities that are inspiring, entertaining and educational, including: master classes, lecture demonstrations and performances. Desert Dance Theatre has an eclectic variety of dances in the current repertory, which range from classical, comical, abstract and theatrical. The company specializes in theme-related programs that focus on cultural diversity, social issues and about the lives of prominent people who have fought for freedom in America through its music/dance/drama productions such as “Free At Last” (Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.), “Sister Moses: The Story of Harriet Tubman,” “Judgments” (a commentary on racial and social issues), and “The Raina Project” (a commentary on teen violence). The company has also collaborated with String Sounds (string quartet), touring and performing over thousands of children’s programs in elementary schools since 1985. Through its Guest Choreographer Series, the company also performs commissioned works by choreographers of national and international acclaim. The new works continue to enhance the diversity of the current repertory. In past seasons, Desert Dance Theatre was fortunate to perform dance works by Roni Koresh, H.T. Chen/Dian Dong, Neta Pulvermacher, Cliff Keuter, Phyllis Haskell, Joan Woodbury, and more.
