VCU Dance Community Outreach

Community engagement events take the form of master classes and/or lecture-demonstrations offered by VCU Dance in conjunction with established partners such as the Richmond Ballet, Henrico Center for the Arts, Thomas Dale High School, Appomattox Regional Governor’s School, the Richmond City Dance Program at Pine Camp, the Latin Ballet of Virginia, and other community partners.

By hosting such a multiplicity of artists in a variety of formats, VCU Dance fosters a vibrant, energetic atmosphere for the appreciation and development of contemporary dance in Richmond. Additionally, as a presenter of national and internationally-recognized artists in combination with its educational mission, VCU Dance—and by extension Richmond itself—serves as a vital force in the larger field of dance.
