BOLD CONNECTING

20 Years With Our Dance Center Community

On September 18, 2021, we celebrated two decades of the Mark Morris Dance Center and vital community programs with a special outdoor event featuring a free performance by the Dance Group and free classes for all ages, inclusive of people with and without disabilities.

From fall through spring, we continued to rebuild our in-person programming, re-opening the Dance Center while maintaining the key online programs that had become a lifeline during the pandemic. By spring, we were connecting with our community through 150 weekly in-person classes, 35 community partnerships, and more than 400 free Dance for PD® classes online.

The anniversary season culminated in June 2022 in a Dance Center Showcase and a 24-hour online global festival attended by more than 1,000 Dance for PD® participants. The showcase featured performances by Student Company I and II, Arts Immersion Fellows, and a collaborative intergenerational performance by Dance for PD® with Student Company members.
