staibdance is an Atlanta-based dance company that uses the transformative art of contemporary dance to explore universal aspects of the human experience that inspire, engage, and build community.

 
 
 

Throughout our 18-year history, staibdance has been an ever-evolving organization that consistently asks: who were you? who are you? who will you become?
Our performances and classes ask participants to lose themselves and find themselves through evocative imagery both on the stage and in the studio classroom. We meet, head-on, the joys, challenges, curiosities and beauty that contribute to our dynamic, universal experience – that which make us human - to ignite conversation and re-reveal the sublime and transformative effects of truthful human interaction.


“Beautiful, fragmented — at times jarring and at others bewildering — ARARAT is a sobering stunner that confronts genocide, acknowledges it and shows us more fully the preciousness of life and the value of new beginnings.”
