Formerly the Village Arts Coalition, the Boulder Dance Coalition (BDC) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational organization, incorporated in the state of Colorado in 1989.
The Boulder Dance Coalition’s mission is to promote dance—and the physical and mental well-being, social connections, and shared joy it brings—by providing affordable facilities and support for dance and related community events.
Values
- We offer a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space.
- We support life-long learning.
- We value folk traditions and shared cultural experiences.
- We rely on our members and volunteers for success.
- We support dance leaders and teachers in creating new opportunities for community enrichment.
The BDC’s primary project is operating The Avalon—a building with a large ballroom and several smaller studios designed and built for dancers. The coalition members participate by volunteering their time and skills to operate The Avalon, and by offering classes and public dance events that build community, both at The Avalon and in other venues.
