The full schedule for classes is below. ImpaCT is a consortium of dance companies in the area which was initiated by Sonia Plumb Dance Company.

Dimensional Dance was established by director Ruth Lewis to inspire and educate through and about dance. Ms. Lewis started the company in 2011 with the dance piece M-Theory Beyond String Theory exploring movement and forces. Since then Dimensional Dance members have been choreographing pieces and programs that bring art to life. Our newest piece, Prudence Crandall: A Whole-Souled Woman, concerns the Connecticut social justice pioneer who taught women of color in 1833. We will be performing our new program Dance History Live: Ballet to Breakdancing with Fierce Like Frida for the 2019-2020 season.

What they are saying about Dimensional Dances Performances:

“Your program was amazing!!!! Our students were amazed and everyone that attended commented that Dimensional Dance was the best program they have ever experienced. I totally agree. The students couldn’t stop talking about the dancers. They enjoyed every dance and learned about new music and dance as well.

Everyone could not believe the quality and learning experiences you brought to our school. We feel fortunate to have had you and your dancers. They were simply the best!”

A. F. Teacher -Breakthrough Magnet North, Hartford

doubt one of the best performances we

have had. It was professional, educational, fascinating,

and entertaining. Every single student of the school was

completely engaged for the entire performance- no easy task at best!”
