Mission Statement
Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company creates, performs and educates through the artistry of dance. We explore, celebrate and provoke thoughts while connecting cultures and bridging audiences to contribute to life’s infinite expressions.

Artistic Statement –
Artistic Director, Enrique Cruz DeJesus

“My vision and inspiration comes from life’s interactions to find what binds us. I thrive on mixing popular with traditional styles and challenging cultural expectations. This allows me to deconstruct or blend movements to affirm new expressions that explore and celebrate the similarities of our human core.”

Background
Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company was founded in 1972 by Ronn Pratt, Dolores Vanison-Blakley, and Miriam Greaves to provide a platform for minority dancers and choreographers. A creative venue for artists and a safe haven for inner city youth it has served thousands for almost four decades.

Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company continues to build audiences through delivering performances that are energetic, uplifting, cultural, passionate and all around entertaining experiences. We serve communities through outreach programs and performances, and educate youth with programs that serve as a positive social outlet as well as a forum for those interested in a professional career. The main techniques employed are modern but the richness in background is such that the audience is treated to many different styles and influences. The dances range from urban life to that of tribal influence and from the abstract to the dramatic.
