There is truly a power in dancing –  physical and mental well-being, spatial awareness, social connections, rhythm, cognitive strengthening, creative expression – the list goes on.  Whether a child at play, a professional on stage, a student in the classroom, or an audience member watching, dance provides joy, exhilaration and so much more. Thus, I founded SPDC as a non-profit 501(c)3 in the State of Connecticut in 1991. SPDC has morphed throughout the years, following the trajectory of life. 

Within these pages you will find the scope of our work, from past to present to future. Dive in and find out what we are all about…

We’re a nonprofit. Yet ticket prices, for live or streaming performances, never fully cover the cost of creating dance. Which entails paying for dancers, designers (costume, sound, projection), rehearsal space, and plenty more.

Corporate and individual donors keep the show going. Please donate generously. We thank you sincerely to the tips of our toes!

DIVERSITY,
EQUITY AND
INCLUSION

Our mission and vision since 1991

Sonia Plumb Dance Company values equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility in our programming on stage, in the classroom and in the community. We seek to uphold these values by providing training to create a diverse workforce (dancers, teachers, staff), to offer free and low-cost access when needed to our performances and to engage with our community and our neighbors in the development of our programming. We acknowledge the systems that have been put in place which have often excluded individuals and communities from opportunities based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, age, and geography, and strive to counter those inequities in our programming, hiring and Board and volunteer representation.
