DanceWorks Boston

DanceWorks Boston was founded by Executive Director Lisa Mara in 2010 with the mission of providing a post-grad performance outlet for advanced & technically trained dancers (18+) who want to continue choreographing and performing into their adult life. After establishing the company in February 2010 with just 15 dancers, we’ve grown to be a collective of more than 190 performers, with a sister-company in NYC boasting another 160+ dancers. With each new season, the company continues to grow as it provides a program unlike others. A place where high-caliber dancers, not by trade but by passion, can bring their ideas, creativity, and love for dance to life onstage while pursing other full-time career opportunities. Our mission is to provide a professional, yet fun & flexible environment for dancers of all styles to come together as a community. A place where dancers find a balance between feeling challenged in the studio, but not overwhelmed by the commitment. Today, DanceWorks provides members with a place to grow both technically & personally as dancers, young adults, and aspiring professionals.
