JHDC builds upon its longstanding tenets of diversity and accessibility to provide movers of all backgrounds the same diligent commitment to artistry, curiosity, self-expression, and growth. JHDC rejects the idea that high-quality artistic programming should be a privilege; at JHDC, this level of programming is a right. Moreover, this programming is a tool for community building, for fostering creativity, and for having difficult but necessary conversations about how to productively dismantle issues like racism, sexism, transphobia, and homophobia.
