Our Mission
Soda Shop Movement Company advances contemporary ballet through innovative performance, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and community engagement.
We believe creativity thrives in connection and that movement has the power to bring people together. We're not simply producing performances. We're building the future home for contemporary dance in Northern Colorado, a place where artists can make a living, people can discover dance, neighbors can gather, and creativity can thrive.
Who We Are
Soda Shop Movement Company is a contemporary ballet company rooted in collaboration, creativity, and community. We bring artists and audiences together through innovative performance, open creative processes, and cross-disciplinary partnerships.
By creating spaces for connection and exploration, we foster meaningful experiences that strengthen our community through movement and art.
Our Voice
Soda Shop Movement Company uses choreography, education, and community engagement to respond to the realities of the world around us.
We believe art has the power to challenge assumptions, foster connection, and imagine new possibilities.
As a queer-led organization, we are committed to reexamining inherited conventions and expanding who is represented, welcomed, and valued within the dance field. We seek to create work and build communities that embody the inclusive, equitable, and compassionate future we wish to see.
Our Stance
We do not tolerate racism, bigotry, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, anti-fat bias, body shaming, antisemitism, Islamophobia, bullying, harassment, or discrimination of any kind. We choose empathy over fear, connection over division, and community over exclusion.
Art is our response.
Why Soda Shop?
Historically, a soda shop has been a place of community, where one could sit, drink something bubbly, and escape the world for a while.
Our company, like a soda shop, is a place for community.
We are a place where artificial lines that divide us dissolve. Here, one can explore movement, enjoy a glass of bubbles, or simply exist in a space where everyone is welcome.
