32 years ago, the West Virginia Dance Company was founded with the distinct purpose of enriching lives through dance. Today the WVDC continues performing through a blend of entertaining and thought-provoking modern works that generate enthusiasm in audiences of all ages. Highly trained and seasoned professionals make up the Company, whose repertoire includes pieces that are influenced by West Virginia’s rich cultural heritage. The WVDC is the only professional touring dance company in the history of the state. It has performed extensively in West Virginia as well as 14 other states and Brazil. At the height of its touring season, an average of 50,000 students are reached through the art of dance. Public, college and university performances are an important area of WVDC’s touring seasons. For many students, the WVDC is their first exposure to the arts.
