The Boulder Dance Coalition is a volunteer-based organization that provides a home for participatory dance and movement at The Avalon, where the public can express their inner need to dance, exercise, and socialize. We host many varied dance forms, from International to modern, and contemporary.
Dancing is a way to stay young. It stimulates both the mind and body, keeping your muscles exercised and your mind clicking away. For folks like me, into our sixth and seventh decades, Boulder Dance Coalition provides an opportunity for regular dance experience at many different levels and at many different ethnicities, such as ethnic international dance, swing, waltz, tango etc. Dancing has been part of my life for over 45 years and helps me keep both my balance ability and my sanity! I hope BDC will continue to provide these opportunities for many, many years, which is why I support the organization.
I am a dancer and love the Avalon and its facilities. I also appreciate the BDC activities to support the Avalon with volunteer efforts.
Thanks!
Our mission is to promote public participation in dance, music and other folk arts in the Front Range of Colorado, to encourage expansion of these activities in the larger community, to develop facilities for these activities, and to provide services for other organizations and individuals that share these goals.
The dream of the Boulder Dance Coalition (formerly Village Arts Coalition) since its founding in 1989 has been to provide a home for dance. The founding groups were international folk dance groups. However, our success in acquiring a large, versatile building (The Avalon) has allowed that dream to expand to include a wide variety of social and participatory dance forms including tango, salsa, swing and vintage dance. We have constructed four dances spaces in The Avalon with the support of hundreds of volunteers. We currently have a 5300 square foot ballroom and three smaller dance spaces of varied sizes. We provide a spacious venue that is inexpensive and has wonderfully cushioned hardwood dance floors - all in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.
