About AVID

AVID is a project based dance company founded to encourage innovative ideas and creative expression. We strive to honor the legacy of classical dance and continue to move it forward by creating art that moves people. AVID brings together esteemed artists in a collaborative environment resulting in world class dance experiences that inspire genuine connection. Our Vision for AVID is to create performances that allow both artists and audiences to cultivate their creativity and create meaningful connections with their community.

We believe true art has the power to transform you. This transformation requires vulnerability from BOTH the artists and the audience. In other words, we need YOU. We invite you to experience transformative art, as ephemeral as the passing of time, that leaves a lasting impression. AVID is a celebration of life and we hope you'll join us as we explore the depths of our capacity to be MOVED!

What People Are Saying

What People Are Saying

"AVID provides artists an opportunity to learn and expand in their industry beyond what they might experience in most festivals or arts organizations. By collaborating and sharing in multiple roles we are pushing ourselves beyond our limits and finding new creative expression in that space, and isn’t that what art is all about!"

-Melody Mennite

For me AVID is a chance to give back to the vibrant community of wonderful humans that is the dance world. It’s a chance to not only participate in the spaces that make the magic of dance happen, but to help create them. To help cultivate opportunities for us to sweat and grow and learn and create together."

-David Hochberg

“One of my absolutely favorite parts of being a dancer is the creation of new work. It’s very exciting to bring something new into existence through a collaborative effort with AVID!”

-Elizabeth Kanning
