Ross Dance Company

About me:

Ross Dance Company,LLC a professional touring modern jazz company, was founded by Tecsia Ross in August 2005. Ross Dance has presented full evenings of soulful modern jazz choreography at Merce Cunningham and Joyce SoHo theater in New York City, CounterPulse, Laney College, Madrid in Los Angeles, and UC Berkeley. Ross repertory (Evening of Soulful Modern Jazz {2005}, Testimony {2006}, and Speak {2007}) has explored the challenges and empowerment of spirituality, women gender roles, strength of sisterhood, and the power of freedom. The intent behind Ross’ work is to highlight and comment on the social discourse that individuals face in their relationships, spirituality, and society. Ross strides to invite the audience into the stories of social discourse by connecting with their mind, emotions and soul. In addition to presenting choreography to diverse audiences, Ross is committed to community outreach and educating young dancers. Beginning in 2009 Ross will be kicking off our new workshop series that offers dancers a chance to take modern jazz, hip hop, praise and ballet from a master instructor. Also Ross will be continuing its emerging choreographer's festival showcase this year and presenting a new praise dance concert. Check out www.rossdance.com for more details. Ross Dance goal is to give dance back to the community since the community created it. It is our vision to give dancers who have a dream and a passion to dance to share their story.
