Dance to the People is a female and immigrant led collective of dancers and other collaborators who work in non-hierarchical forms of art making to address social and environmental injustice.
With each project we discover innovative ways to develop content and structures of movement research, choreography, training, performance and sharing, fostering horizontality in the exchange of resources in our community.
We create together because we believe revolutionary art can only manifest itself through collective processes.

We ask that you consider these simple anti-capitalist, anti-waste, guidelines:
- Do it in a PUBLIC space or make the performance space open and free
- Make no waste with your performance
- If there is residue from your performance that is “waste”, separate the objects and recycle them
- If you transform your materials into an object, value this not as trash but as art
- Do not use your performance to police others
