TAPESTRY DANCE COMPANY

Acia Gray and Deirdre Strand founded Tapestry Dance Company on the idea that dance is a part of the fabric of life.

Based in Austin, Texas, Tapestry is one of the nation's few professional multiform dance companies. For Tapestry, dance -- be it jazz, classical ballet, modern, tap or a hybrid created for your enjoyment -- is about expression.

A critically acclaimed touring company, Tapestry is committed to weaving dance into life within a society that yearns for each individual's voice -- a voice that celebrates our diverse culture and community.

This unique dance ensemble explores dance design, rhythm and the human condition through the eclectic choreography of high-energy main stage concerts, lecture demonstrations, choreographic and development residencies, and master classes.

For 2006 – 2007, Tapestry offers:

The Best of Tapestry - a joyful, energetic evening of multiform dance that includes the best of rhythm tap, modern, jazz and contemporary ballet led by international rhythm tap artist Acia Gray.

Rhythm, Dance, Music & You! - Tapestry's unique and integrated educational program designed to "weave dance into life" in numerous cultural, demographic and ageless programming needs.  Full lecture demonstrations, workshops, and master classes for all ages.
