Dance Exchange is a leading nonprofit performing arts organization expanding who gets to dance, where dance happens, what dance is about, and why it matters. We do this through:

  • Dancemaking and Performance

  • Creative Tools and Practices

  • The Community and Creative Hub @ DX

  • Organizing with Artists for Change

Meet Our Team

Fueled by generosity and curiosity, our team is made up of artists, administrators, board members, program participants, and more. Together, we’re building on a more than 45-year legacy of harnessing the power of creativity and inquiry through dance.

Support Our Mission

“Collaborating with Dance Exchange has allowed me to be part of the creation of spaces where people can ask questions and search for answers in community, not just by talking but by moving as well. It’s a powerful combination.” — Dr. Jamē McCray, Co-Director of Future Fields

We are grateful for the role supporters like you play in expanding who gets to dance, where dance happens, what dance is about, and why dance matters.
