statewide outreach: dancers' workshop has been providing outreach to the rural areas of wyoming for more than 20 years. Dance is a required outcome for wyoming physical education classes for grades k-9. The vision of dw's outreach program is to create divergent thinkers by asking questions and exploring classroom concepts using movement as the vehicle. Currently, within the jackson hole community we provide nine weeks of residency programs annually. Elsewhere in wyoming, we provide four weeks of rural outreach to pinedale, two weeks in big piney, and three weeks in lander. Outreach programs reached 2727 students in 2014.

world-class presenting - presenting dance to dw is more than simply making arrangements with a booking agent and sending a company out on stage. It is a time for our students to learn from experts, an opportunity for our local artists to expand their range and spark their curiosity, a chance for our community to experience moving works of art, and a way for us to share the magic of our home with artists we respect and admire. In 2014, presenting performances included momix (feb), bill t. Jones / arnie zane dance company (jul), and new york city ballet moves (august). Performances, master classes and open rehearsals by these artists served 6,470 audience members in 2014.
