Our mission is to create greater joy and compassion in the community with dance that opens hearts, minds, and arms. Our Vision is to empower a diversity of people to share their own unique creative expression through equitable, collaborative dance making that has the ability to transform communities. The Mission of Open Arms Dance Project is to create greater joy and compassion with dance that opens hearts, minds, and arms. Open Arms Dance Project (OADP) season typically runs from September through May. During our season we rehearse every Tuesday at 5:15pm. Our company rehearsals are followed by OADP Community Class, an inclusive and multigenerational dance class open to everyone and in line with our Vision and Mission. Contact [email protected] to register! In our dance company and OADP Community Class we welcome people with and without disabilities, ranging in age from 7-75+ years young (no upper age limit!). Our dance company performs at an average of five events during our season with a focus on providing free and easily accessed dance performances. We also perform in unexpected and exciting spaces that increase our visibility in the community like the Idaho State Capitol rotunda, through crosswalks, in lobbies, through the Anne Frank Memorial, and on sidewalks in the rain! If you are interested in being a part of Open Arms Dance Project' dance company or community classes as a dancer, fan, supporter, or Board Member, please contact Artistic Director Megan Brandel at [email protected].
