Spank Dance is dedicated to creating contemporary dance performances that stimulate the mind of the audience offering them an unexpected, fresh perspective about the world around them. The movement is an extension of inner emotion, vision, and an understanding of the profound effects dance has on each of us. We layer new movement, humor, sensual visual imagery, and thoughtful subject matter into performances that are accessible to audiences while never treading close to the mainstream. It is Spank Dance's core belief that dance can provide an invaluable emotional, intellectual, and physical experience unlike any other art form.

As community outreach Spank Dance strives to present quality contemporary dance that explores diverse concepts within the movement arts. We encourage experimentation from local and regonal choreographers to stretch their own ideas of dance, collaboration, and performance excellence. We seek to engage the audience through fresh new ideas that are challenging and fun, with a strong emphasis on community building through each individual voice.
