Dance at AS220 invites the creation, study, and performance of dance for all to enjoy and experience. We support artists, audiences and community through programs and spaces that connect movement and ideas through the physical body. We honor and celebrate the wonder and curiosity of dance for all. Our facilities and services are made available to all dancers who need a place to teach, learn, perform, or create original work, especially those who don’t have access to space from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations. We, the people of Rhode Island, associate ourselves for the purpose of providing a local forum and home for the arts, through the maintenance of residential and work studios, galleries, performance and educational spaces. Exhibitions and performances in the forum will be unjuried, uncensored and open to the general public. Our facilities and services are made available to all artists who need a place to exhibit, perform, or create their original artwork, especially those who cannot obtain space to exhibit or perform from traditional sources because of financial or other limitations.

Dance at AS220 offers access to all who want to create, teach, learn, and be in community. We offer classes, performances and expressive development in a safe, inclusive environment. We envision a world where all people, no matter who they are, can explore their creative potential through movement practice. Our space, programs, and offerings are designed to support AS220’s Orgwide anti-racist and liberatory creative practices.

Community, Inclusivity, Creative Liberation, Freedom of Expression, Access for All, Racial Justice, Joy, Love, and Kindness.
