"We love, live, and breathe dance; so, no project
is too small."
-Candice Franklin, Artistic Production Director
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide choreographers and dancers to create wonderful dance choreography, from the most simple to the most elaborate staging, that will complement the project-at-hand in the most effective manner. Whether we are creating new work on non-dancers and actors who move well or professional dancers who perform regularly, we aim to be effective, to entertain, and to, most importantly, keep our artistic ideas acessible to lay audiences.
Professional Training = Professional Craftmanship
Because our staff have received their professional training from the top schools in the US and the world, our dancers and choreographers are very well versed in a wide array of dance styles . Our choreographers have full understanding of the "technical aesthetic" as well as the more "free" styles of dance such as Hip Hop and Street Dance which gives them a more broader versatile base to create.
All of our dance styles developed by our choreographers are derivatives of standard formal training readily found in the United States such as Classical Ballet, Modern, Tap, and Jazz. The following are our most current DIP DANZ Styles and/or their derivatives used in performance and/or instruction: |
Music Video | Hip Hop/Street Dance | Commercial Jazz |
Jazzhaus | Break Dance | Musical Theatre Jazz |
Broadway Tap | House | Neo-Pop Jazz |
Show Boy/Showgirl | African | Neo-Contemporary Jazz |
Burlesque | Reggae Dance Hall | Latin Jazz |
Dunham | Contemporary Ballet | Black Soul Jazz |
Creative Movement for Children | Contemporary Modern | Neo-Contemporay Liturgical Dance |
Looking for Authenticity?
A Specialist may be the Answer!
