Group Information

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. For more information, see Who We Are.

The Avalon

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.

Avalon Work Party – Come support The Avalon and the Boulder Dance Coalition

This community building event takes place approximately one Saturday per season, as is practical. The Avalon Work Party is excellent way to support the local dance infrastructure, make new friends, learn some new skills and feel a sense of pride and ownership in the development of one of Boulder’s most beloved dance venues. There are many types of jobs, as well as great leadership, and you will be rewarded with a sense of accomplishment. See Volunteer.
