DCC serves the Caribbean diaspora community – Through our innovative programming and content, we cultivate audiences’ appreciation for both contemporary and traditional dance, we reflect our cultural experiences and traditions on stage, we offer students opportunities to reconnect to their cultural roots, and we provide space to address the issues facing our communities.
DCC connects with wider dance audiences – Across all our platforms, we provide a place for the wider public to connect to Caribbean culture, boosting the visibility of our diverse forms, and cultivating new informed audiences.
