The Reason
Atelier, pronounced (uh-teh-lee-ei), is a noun meaning “an artist’s workshop”.
Atelier Dance Company is a community-based arts organization using dance and creative practice to give adults a place to belong, create, connect, and continue developing as artists.
The space created is for dancers to collaborate, create, and perform thought-provoking and entertaining contemporary choreography. Dancers can express their creativity and fill their artistic void with like-minded and passionate dancers in the Grand Rapids area.
Atelier Dance Company Provides:
Creative Outlet
Providing adults with a background in dance an opportunity to continue their artistic practice through choreography, performance, collaboration, and creative expression.
Artistic Community
Building a supportive and inspiring community for adults who want dance to remain an important part of their lives, even though performing is not their profession.
Access to Contemporary Dance
Bringing contemporary dance to West Michigan audiences through engaging performances that make the art form approachable, thought-provoking, and accessible to all.
“With few opportunities for adult dancers who have chosen other career paths, Atelier Dance Company provides a place for artists who want more than an adult dance class but less than a professional career in dance.”
