Rainbow Dance Co. is Arts Together’s multi-age dance performance program that provides arts training where individual expression is respected, and creative and technical ability are equally emphasized. Rainbow Dance Co. was the brainchild of Arts Together founder Lemma Mackie and is the only multi-age modern dance company of its kind in North Carolina. Rainbow celebrates the many creative voices found in children, teens and adults and comprises members from ages 10 to 70+. Younger dancers are invited to join the company after showing passion and commitment for creating, learning and performing in their Arts Together technique class. Older dancers will attend an audition where they show their technical, creative and collaborative skill set. Company members explore complex social issues through dance and are collaborative artists who contribute throughout the choreographic process. They collaborate uniquely: a 10-year-old has the confidence to offer artistic feedback to a 50-year-old, both respecting each other as peers.
