![]()
the art of dance in the Plainfield area through quality dance education. The studio became a reality when it opened for classes in July 1992, offering all forms of dance for ages three to adult. Throughout the past 16 years it has become well rounded in the curriculum offered. Classes are geared for both the recreational dancer and the more serious dancers, this comprehensive atmosphere insures something for everyone. The first annual concert carried the appropriate name "Opening Night".
This year Name Game is our eighteenth concert in a history of successful productions. These annual events provide students of Danceworks the opportunity to experience a professional quality production and to share the results of their dance education with family and friends. Knowing that experience and exposure to the opportunities of performance is key to the development of a dancer's training, we offer many such opportunities for our students by performing at many local and community events. The Repertory Company, a performing and competition team, was established in 1995 with this in mind. Collaborative efforts of Danceworks include choreography for several local theater groups including the Norwich Arts Council and The Theater of Northeastern Connecticut at The Bradley Playhouse. The annual PIMA pageant for the town of Plainfield has become an established tradition in their spring schedule. Other endeavors include the performance of liturgical dances at the annual World Day of Peace and Christian Unity, services at the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Danielson, World Day of Prayer and Plainfield Ecumenical Celebrations. Our MissionDanceworks Dance Centre's mission is to provide excellent dance education in a family oriented environment. We offer a variety of dance techniques for beginning through advanced dancers, for the recreational to the more serious dancer, there is something for everyone. We strive to set a high standard of quality teaching to all ages with an emphasis on the artistry of movement. Our philosophy is that it is much more than just dance. Intangibles such as self confidence, team work, and discipline, are qualities students will benefit from in all areas of their lives. The Danceworks Repertory Company was established in 1995 with the idea in mind that performance opportunities are essential to a dancer's training. The Repertory Company is a group of dedicated and talented students who attend 6 to 8 hours of dance classes a week. Student selection is based on their interest and background in all forms of dance, good attitude, and a strong commitment to extra work and rehearsals. Weekly Repertory classes cover stage presence, choreography, travel procedures, performance techniques and touring etiquette.
The Danceworks Repertory Company performs at area functions and attends 3 to 4 regional dance competitions and 1 national competition yearly. The group has competed all over Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, and New Jersey receiving many platinum, gold, and silver awards along with numerous judges awards for choreography and stage presence.
