Our Mission
SPDC reaches beyond the arts community with a diverse repertoire that reflects upon larger societal issues through performances, classes, workshops, community outreach, arts integration residencies and collaborations with musicians and composers, artists and actors, puppeteers, poets and professors.
It is our vision to fulfill our mission by providing audiences from all cultures, age groups, abilities and income levels throughout the Greater Hartford region with opportunities to learn how to dance, watch dance, appreciate dance and/or incorporate dance in their lives.
