OUR MISSION:

The DragonFlies Dance Company is comitted to artistic excellence in creating, promoting, and performing the art of belly dance and contributing to the evolution of the art form.

We strive to support women's issues through the art of belly dance. Our mission is to empower ourselves through this medium, to build self-esteem and inspire creative self-expression and community action.

In addition, a fusion of diverse disciplines of dance and cultural backgrounds enables us to touch our community with a passion that comes from our live experiences. Collaborating with visual and performing artists of note, the company creates and performs works that contain social, emotional, political, abstract and scientific themes that appeal to a wide audience.

To that end, the DragonFlies perform locally and in surrounding communities throughout the year as well as conducting performances in fully professional atmosphere for corporations, retailers and live-art-related venues.

In seeking to perserve the contemporary dance traditions of its primary inspiration, Suhaila Salimpour, the company is also dedicated to the truthful recreations and reconstruction of significant works by Suhaila Salimpour.
