Freespace Dance is an open forum designed to collaborate and create, teach and encourage, invite and dance.
Freespace Dance’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) mission is to: provide individuals an opportunity to achieve their full potential; enhance and strengthen our art form; and solidify our reputation as a preeminent arts organization, embodying excellence, empowerment, and inclusion. We strive to share our joy of dance, while fostering a welcoming environment—both internally and externally—that celebrates and embraces many forms of diversity.
FSD reflects the diverse communities we serve; creating space for a wide range of different voices to be heard; valuing and respecting both visible and invisible differences; being humble, transparent, and honest in our DE&I work; and owning responsibility for positioning dance as an art form that is accessible to everyone. We define diversity as the appreciation and respect for the many intersections of differences in society including, but not limited to: race, gender, nationality/culture, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical abilities, age, and parental status.
