Dance St. Louis continues its 2024/25 season with Collage Dance Collective, the powerful, pioneering and breathtaking company recently named a “Southern Cultural Treasure” by South Arts and the Ford Foundation, on Saturday, April 5, 2024 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center.

Rooted in the heartland of Memphis, Tennessee, Collage Dance Collective embodies the greatness of American dance and is at the national forefront of inspiring the growth and diversity of ballet.

Collage’s meteoric rise over the last decade is fueled by its dynamic programming, virtuosic company artists and its talent for presenting what the Albany Times calls “ballet made utterly, gorgeously beautiful.”

 
 
 

Collage Dance is is one of the largest Black-led performing arts organizations in the South and is one of just a few professional ballet companies in the world with a roster of BIPOC dancers. The company is also listed among the 50 largest ballet companies in the nation by Dance Data Project.

Working to inspire the growth and diversity of ballet, Collage Dance Collective showcases a repertoire of relevant choreography and world-class dancers representative of the communities it serve.

The professional company has presented 14 full-length seasons in Memphis, plus national and international touring, including the Kennedy Center, presenting a diverse range of classical and contemporary choreography from George Balanchine, Wayne McGregor, Nacho Duato, Ulysses Dove, Joshua Manculich, Amy Hall Garner, Kevin Iega Jeff, and more.

The work of Collage Dance Collective has been featured in media outlets including Huffington Post, Allure, New York Magazine, Essence, Memphis Magazine, Dance Magazine, and Pointe Magazine.

Delight, indulge and experience this breathtaking company that is making waves across the country and beyond.
