Company Danzante’s goal is to promote excellence in contemporary dance with captivating dance productions and conceptual dance creations through an emphasis in the investigative creative process while supporting and nurturing the professional careers of passionate dance artists. Company Danzante serves the local community through engaging dance presentations, education programs, and outreach activities.
What is a Danzante?
A Danzante dances for a purpose, expresses emotion and intention through dance, and seeks to explore life through the investigation of movement.
By using the abbreviation for Norte (Nte), Colectivo DanzaNorte evolved into Danzante, which from Spanish can be interpreted to stand for someone whose life is dance.
Company Danzante seeks to build upon its foundation and values established by the former artistic collective and apply the spirit and meaning of Danzante in all the work that it does.
