Rooted in the heartland of Memphis, TN, Collage Dance embodies the greatness of American dance and is at the national forefront of inspiring the growth and diversity of ballet. Collage’s meteoric rise over the last decade is fueled by its dynamic programming, virtuosic company artists and its talent for presenting what the Albany Times Union called “ballet made utterly, gorgeously human.” Collage Dance was recently named a Southern Cultural Treasure by South Arts and the Ford Foundation and is one of the 50 largest ballet companies in the nation.
