Founding Company: U-Turn Dance Company

U-Turn Dance Company is The Center's youth ensemble (ages 9-17), which made its Central Florida debut in 2001 and performs regularly both in mainstage productions as well as in specialty arts-education programs throughout Central Florida and nationally. The company was founded by The Center's Artistic Director, Dario J. Moore, as platform for young dancers to gain professional dance experience.

Entry into the company is highly selective. All U-Turn Dance members receive yearly scholarships that allow them to expand their professional training at The Center. The company is primarily dedicated to meeting the artistic needs of talented youth from economically challenged families. Many members of the company are selected directly from The Center's Pre-Professional Program. If you are interested in auditioning for U-Turn Dance Company or the Pre-Professional Program, please contact us to schedule an audition.

In alignment with our mission to build a culture of contemporary dance in Central Florida, The Center also supports these resident dance companies:

Patelworks Dance Theater (in residency since 2007)

Founded in 2006 by Artistic Director and choreographer Smruti Patel, Patelworks Dance Theater produces work that is primarily a fusion of classical Indian dance and post-modern/contemporary dance. The mission of Patelworks Dance Theater is two-fold: (1) to take culture and art through dance to underrepresented populations that would otherwise not have access to such experiences and (2) to raise funds for charitable organizations.

DRIP (in residency since 2007)

Founded in 2006 by Artistic Director and choreographer Jessica Mariko, DRIP is a performance art company with a strong focus on movement and art direction. During performances, dancers create and often become visual art themselves by blending movement, artistic mediums and props. The dance-artists are driven by inspiration and have been recognized for compelling performances that make audiences think, feel and reflect.

Emotions Dance Company (in residency since 2007)

Founded in 2007 by Artistic Director and choreographer Larissa Humiston, Emotions Dance Company showcases a wide variety of dance styles, including contemporary, modern, African, ballet, hip hop, jazz, belly dance and ballroom. The company seeks to inspire audiences, using performances to raise awareness and funds for organizations dedicated to improving the community and environment.

Nao Dance Company (in residency since 2008)

Founded in 2008 by Artistic Director and choreographer Linda Eve Elchak, Nao Dance is a contemporary, improvisation-based company. Nao Dance is dedicated to exploring honest perspectives of the human experience through structured improvisational movement that inspires, enlightens and entertains.
