Mission Statement

Momentum Dance Theatre’s purpose is to provide performance, training and educational activities in the performing arts to entertain and challenge its audiences and to encourage dance training throughout the lifespan. Through its work in community settings, Momentum strives to bring high quality dance, music and theater to traditionally underserved populations and set up a dialogue between artists and community.  The performances, programs, educational activities and training will search for personal perspectives on social issues and strive to develop understanding between individuals and groups.
