Who We Are

CITYDANCE—LET US MOVE YOU. Watch a performance. Take a class. Or help a child do both. We invite you to discover the power, passion, and purpose of dance.

Professional Dance Company—We create and bring innovative modern dance to Washington, DC. As one of only two full-time professional dance companies in Washington, CityDance Ensemble attracts world-renowned dancers, choreographers, artists, and educators. Rehearsing at CityDance Center at Strathmore, our company regularly performs across the DC region and around the world.

Free Community Programs—We work hard to ensure that children from DC’s most underserved neighborhoods have access to free dance classes and performances. Our professional company performs in front of thousands of students each year and our instructors teach in more than 20 schools and community centers. CityDance is committed to building a new generation of dancers and empowering youth through dance.

Professional Dance School—We provide high-quality dance training to children and adults. With a diverse curriculum, our faculty of highly trained master instructors teach classes in such genres as contemporary, ballet, jazz, hip hop, and African. Our audition-only, pre-professional program, CityDance Select, is unique to the region and prepares talented students ages 12-19 for careers in contemporary dance, whether it be on the concert stage, in commercial work, or as entry to a college dance program. We are pleased to announce the launching of our first Studio Scholarship Fund.
