OUR MISSION.

At RRDC we use dance as a vehicle for human development and connection. We guide individuals in realizing their full potential and inner beauty through movement and dance.  We use information from our surroundings in conjunction with history to stimulate dialogue about culture, today’s society and it's relationship to Black figures of yesterday and today.
