We aim to empower women to have a voice and an equal opportunity in dance by providing choreographic and leadership opportunities. By sharing professional contemporary dance with new audiences and providing performances in diverse locations, we work to bridge the gap between the arts and our community. Our studio space at Parkville Sounds in Hartford, CT provides creatives with a home to hone in on their movement vocabulary and we hold the belief that everyone can dance and everyone should.

Open Adult Dance Classes

Welcome to our professional and inspiring creative space. A perfect place for a dancer to train and keep in shape, a former dancer to reignite their love for movement, or a member of the community looking to practice dance movement as a form of exercise, art, or meditation. If you have never danced before, hate exercise, haven’t “worked out” in a while, are injured or recovering, do one move and watch for the rest of class… YOU ARE WELCOME HERE! As long as you are taking care of you, we are happy. Come as you are.

The Collective offers movement classes with a variety of genres and levels. We offer both pop-up workshops and weekly class series. Our schedule changes monthly.

THE HARTFORD DANCE COLLECTIVE bridges the gap between dance and the community by curating accessible performances featuring female leaders, and providing open adult movement classes for all bodies.
