RDT's Committment

Repertory Dance Theatre uses dance as a way to help people become more connected, compassionate, aware, inspired, original, focused, courageous, passionate, and human.

Since its founding in 1966, RDT's commitment to Arts-in-Education has created award winning activities: Performances, Lecture Demonstrations, Workshops, Classes, and Mentoring opportunites that inspire tens of thousands of students and teachers each year. Curriculum material relating to history, music, art and the environment help students make stimulating and valuable connections, enabling them to appreciate and understand the world.

To develop an individual's physical and mental discipline at all levels of ability.

To open participants'minds and imaginations by developing tools of communication.
