Vision: The North Dance Program is a place where dancers of different backgrounds and experiences create meaning together, lift one another up, and drive their art into the world.
Mission: The North Dance Program challenges societal values by developing courageous student voice to break stereotypes. Our students redefine the value and meaning of dance in order to reunite the community through movement.
