Mission: OhioDance is a statewide organization that inclusively supports the diverse and vibrant practice of dance.

The goals: Recognize, advocate and communicate the personal, social and educational value of dance for all Ohio-ans; serve as a centralized source of relevant and current information and resources for diverse statewide constit-uencies; promote standards of excellence and opportunities in the field of dance; and showcase the richness and diversity of dance by facilitating presentation opportunities.

Overview: OhioDance represents a broad statewide dance constituency. It serves professional companies and dancers, college/university dance departments, dance studios, school and community dance programs, and dance supporters. It serves as the primary networking opportunity for diverse dance organizations and individuals throughout the state through a quarterly newsletter, a directory and resource guide, workshops, festivals, round-tables, performance opportunities, and a website. In addition to these informational and educational services, it provides members with fiscal agency services and representation in state and national arts activities. The orga-nization is committed to educating Ohioans about dance and dance education, as well as facilitating advocacy activities.

The continued vitality of any area of artistic expression depends in part on the infusion of new people and new ideas. It is important that new, creative achievements receive public exposure. The OhioDance Board of Trustees consists of twenty-eight members statewide. Trustees work on outreach and education in their area of the state. They offer performances and workshops exposing the communities to the art of dance. OhioDance addresses the spirit of coming together in the name of art, community, and education.

OhioDance presents Professional Development Workshops and Roundtables: OhioDance (OD) partners with ODE, VSA Ohio and dance educators to offer professional development seminars for educators and dancers. VSA Ohio and OD will continue to provide dance artists teaching opportunities in Ohio’s public schools, working with stu-dents with disabilities. OD collaborates with the community to offer regional roundtables and performance op-portunities. OD and GCAC partner as part of the OPPArt series, offering workshops to the community. OD partners with the Statehouse to present dance for summer Fridays series at the Ohio Statehouse.

OhioDance is the representative for dance at the state level. In partnership with such organizations as the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education and Ohio Citizens for the Arts, OhioDance creates a strong voice for dance in education and legislation.

The synergies of the organization support the activities and careers of countless people in the dance community, and by extension improve the quality of life in their communities. OhioDance is a socially concerned community organization devoted to creating a better world by bridging the gap between art and lives of ordinary people.

OhioDance has a commitment to dance as a fundamental expression of people of all cultures. OhioDance at its very heart is about supporting the impulses that make us dance in the first place: cultural or personal expression, establishing and exploring relationships, experiencing life expansively and fully.

Program PhilosophyThe Department of Dance is committed toteaching the principles of dance throughmovement/exploration and theoretical inquiry. Thefaculty believes the liberal arts study of dance asan art form necessitates an integration of thekinesthetic body, the intellectual mind, and theemotional/internal spirit. We see this trinity(body/mind/spirit) as the core concern of thediscourse, the discipline, and the faculty as weexplore physical and metaphysical material bothcritically and creatively. Our aim is to exposestudents to a wide variety of approaches by usingprimary and secondary sources. The opportunityfor application in research andperformance is available early in the student’scareer, enabling her/him to become independentlyproductive in the application of these principles.
