Crossroads Dance Indy (CDI) was created in May 2015 when a group of Indianapolis-based dance artists came together to create artistic opportunities and outlets for inspired creativity. The founding members saw a need for more connection and partnership within the Indianapolis dance community and hoped to bridge the gap by creating connections with other artists and groups, as well as creating project-based work and offering classes in varied techniques to the public. 

​

Over ten years later, Crossroads Dance Indy remains dedicated to creating thoughtful, original works and making modern dance accessible to a wide range of audiences. We are made up of experienced dancers from diverse professional backgrounds who come together outside of their careers and family lives to rehearse, collaborate, and perform. Through performances, community engagement, and new choreography, Crossroads Dance Indy explores meaningful ideas through movement while proving that dance is not limited by age, background, or a single career path.

 

CDI holds company classes weekly to strengthen both artistry and technical abilities, as well as promote the art of dance in the Indianapolis community. ​CDI's season includes numerous performance opportunities, including participating in IndyFringe and evening length performances at Arts for Lawrence. The company is also involved in community events and educational opportunities. 

 

Crossroads Dance Indy became a 501(c)(3) organization in 2019, and our mission is to establish community connections and impact local society through evolving artistic collaborations and works.
