The Danse Arts Company is designed to promote two main goals in our community: (1) provide young artists of all disciplines (such as dancers, singers, actors, or painters) the opportunity to appreciate, learn, and perform; and (2) make the arts interesting and accessible to the residents of the greater St. Louis area. The troupe is currently a pre-professional company for dancers ages 8 through 18.

Our Mission is guided by a set of core values:

• Performance as an education tool
• Quality and excellence in arts education
• Individuality of artists, as well as team work
• Accessibility of the arts to all
• Growth through education
• Respect and appreciation of all art forms
