The REDi Dance Junior Company is a pre-professional company of Bronx-residing dance and theater artists, ages 13-19. As a member of the company, artists are given access to training in Latin Dance techniques, House and Modern dance. Artists are  given opportunities to co-create and perform original choreography and text. Our work is social justice based in that it explores identity, liberation, self-care and healing practices. Our aim is to empower youth of color by providing opportunities to exercise their creativity as creators and  active members of their community. 

The Junior Company  was founded during the pandemic of 2020.  We were called to take action and  create a community of young people  who use art  to respond to the  injustices in our society. Our work will contribute  to the wellness of the Bronx community.  We place healing at the center and  believe in the power of creation.
