Delving deeply into the arts and the many cultures of the world, Core Dance unearths and presents unique and compelling dance experiences. Guided by a strong sense of community responsibility, Core Dance uses dance to educate, to question, to connect, to heal, and to inspire.

Formerly known as Several Dancers Core, Core Dance was founded and is led by artistic director Sue Schroeder, a choreographer and arts leader with more than 30 years of experience in dance. The organization is dual-homed, with operations in both Houston and Atlanta.
