OUR SUCCESS OVER 69 SEASONS IS EVIDENCED BY THE MORE THAN 400 WORLD-CLASS DANCE COMPANIES THAT HAVE PERFORMED ON OUR CURATED SEASONS. DANCECLEVELANDS HISTORY MIRRORS THAT OF THE ART FORM ITSELF, HIGHLIGHTED BY THE COMPANIES WE HAVE PRESENTED AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR ARTISTIC TRAJECTORIES. WE HAVE REMAINED ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE ART FORM AND PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE OPEN, COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE WITH OTHER PRESENTERS, DANCE ORGANIZATIONS, AND ARTISTS BOTH LOCALLY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHICH ENABLE US TO CONTINUALLY KEEP OUR FINGER ON THE PULSE OF WHAT IS NEW IN MODERN DANCE AND WHAT OUR AUDIENCES WILL BENEFIT FROM SEEING. OUR CURATORIAL PROCESS INCLUDES A FOCUS ON PRESENTING ARTISTS WHO ARE OFTEN UNDER-REPRESENTED IN THE FIELD, INCLUDING ARTISTS OF COLOR AND FEMALE DANCE MAKERS. DANCECLEVELAND IS COMMITTED TO EQUITY, ENSURING THE DIVERSITY OF OUR NORTHEAST OHIO COMMUNITY IS REFLECTED ON STAGE. DANCECLEVELAND IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING NEW AUDIENCES FOR DANCE BY CREATING BRIDGES OF UNDERSTANDING ABOUT CONTEMPORARY DANCE AS WELL AS THE CREATIVE PROCESS. DANCECLEVELAND REACHES AN AUDIENCE WITH A GREAT DIVERSITY OF AGE, ETHNICITY, PHYSICAL ABILITY, LIFESTYLE, SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS, AND EXPERIENCE WITH THE ART FORM OF DANCE. THE JOYFUL, EXPRESSIVE ATTENDEES OF OUR PERFORMANCES HAVE OFTEN BEEN CITED BY BOTH VISITING ARTISTS AND OTHER ARTS PRESENTERS AS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUELY FUN AND ENGAGED BASES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS WORLD. WE CREATE A WELCOMING AND INCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE SERIES BY KEEPING TICKET PRICES STRATEGICALLY LOW, OFFERING FREE TICKETS TO EACH PERFORMANCE TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN OUR REGION, PLANNING FAMILY-FRIENDLY MATINEES AND PRE-PERFORMANCE FAMILY ACTIVITIES (FOR SELECT ENGAGEMENTS), OFFERING FREE COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND BY TAPPING INTO THE RESOURCES OF PLAYHOUSE SQUARE TO OFFER A FULLY ACCESSIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS WITH DISABILITIES. PERFORMANCES IN FISCAL YEAR 2025 SERVED MORE THAN 7,800 AUDIENCE MEMBERS. AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES: EACH PERFORMANCE IS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INVIGORATING SERIES OF AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, WHICH ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE AND ENABLE AUDIENCE MEMBERS TO ESTABLISH SPECIAL CONNECTIONS TO THE VISITING COMPANIES THROUGH INFORMATIONAL EBLASTS, PRE-PERFORMANCE LECTURES, POST-PERFORMANCE Q&A SESSIONS AND BEHIND THE CURTAIN VIDEO FEATURES. COMMUNITY PROGRAMS: HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS, INCLUDING YOUTH, ADULTS, AND SENIOR CITIZENS OF ALL ABILITIES, ARE INTRODUCED TO DANCE THROUGH COMMUNITY RESIDENCIES THAT INCLUDE MOVEMENT CLASSES, DEMONSTRATIONS, AND CONVERSATIONS WITH VISITING ARTISTS. OUR ANNUAL COMMUNITY DANCE DAY BUILDS ON THIS WORK BY OFFERING FREE OUTDOOR EXERCISE CLASSES, DANCE DEMONSTRATIONS, COMMUNITY DANCE LESSONS, AND A SHOWCASE OF STUDENT DANCERS FROM ACROSS NORTHEAST OHIO. THIS EVENT SERVED 830 COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN JULY 2024. MASTERCLASSES: EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS LIES IN OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE DIRECT AND FREE HANDS-ON DANCE EXPERIENCES AT THE ADVANCED AND PROFESSIONAL LEVELS TO DANCERS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS SPECIAL CLASSES FOR EARLY DANCE STUDENTS.

IN ADDITION, WE WORKED WITH XAVIER AND LAKE ERIE INK TO CONDUCT A CREATIVE WRITING AND MOVEMENT PROGRAM FOR TEENS AT TWO LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS AND THE CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY. ALONG WITH A MASTERCLASS FOR AREA DANCERS, 128 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE ENGAGED THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES. THE CULMINATING PERFORMANCES AT CUYAHOGA COMMUNITY COLLEGES JOHN P.

CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, AND SHEER ELBOW GREASE HELP US TO GENERATE AN EQUITABLE VARIETY OF PERFORMANCES, RELATED MASTERCLASSES, DANCE WORKSHOPS AND RESIDENCIES, AND AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY DANCE DAY. WE CAREFULLY ASSESS POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS AGAINST RIGOROUS STANDARDS FOR CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY AND ENJOY THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH IN-DEMAND ARTISTS WHO CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE THE AUDIENCES WE SERVE. FREQUENT PARTNERS INCLUDE CUYAHOGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, PLAYHOUSE SQUARE, THE CITY OF CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, RAINEY INSTITUTE, CLEVELAND SCHOOL OF THE ARTS, FIRESTONE CLC, THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON, AND CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY.
