IDT's Mission

The mission of Idaho Dance Theatre, a company of professional artists, is to advance and promote the art of dance as part of the cultural and educational environment of Idaho and the Northwest, through performances of contemporary dance, educational outreach, and artistic collaborations.

IDT creates and performs educational outreach and rural touring to introduce dance to a wide spectrum of people throughout the state of Idaho and in the Northwestern region of the US. It is important to us that all people are introduced to dance as an art form, no matter where they live. Creating dance audiences in the future is important to the survival of all performing arts groups, and part of our mission includes performing in the schools and communities where we live.  In addition, we are beginning our pre-professional company in the Fall of 2011.  The company will give young dedicated dancers the opportunity to take the next step in their dance career. This pre-professional dance company will allow dancers to experience the training and rehearsal of a professional company with 2 season performances and the opportunity to work with Idaho Dance Theatre professional dancers and artistic directors.

As a professiona dance company, Idaho Dance Theatre strives for performances at a reasonable price. Our performances are in an intimate theatre at Boise State University where we are in residence. Our residency agreement affords us rehearsal and performing space, but no financial support. Join our efforts by coming to our show - and bring someone new. Introduce them to your local contemporary dance company...where local dancers are afforded the chance to perform at a professional level without leaving Idaho!

Idaho Dance Theatre is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, incorporated in July of 1990. Our mission is supported solely from donations from individuals, businesses and grants from a wide variety of state and local organizations.
