ABOUT PROJECT 3 DANCE COMPANY
Project 3 Dance Company, established in September 2023 under the visionary leadership of director Kayla Nias, was created to be a special place focused on getting back to the roots of dance. At P3, while we value technical ability, what really sets us apart is our emphasis on performance quality and how deeply we connect to each and every piece we perform.
We believe that dance is way more than just flashy tricks and looking pretty -- it's about showing how much we love and connect to the art form. We are truly a family at Project 3 Dance Company, where we prioritize holistic development of our dancers over singular facets. Our mission at P3DC is to cultivate versatile, confident dancers through a holistic approach that emphasizes technical and moral excellence, artistic expression, and community. We are committed to fostering an environment that not only nurtures individual growth but also values inclusivity and transparency. In efforts to limit the competitive pressures often found within the dance industry, Project 3 stands as a sanctuary where dancers uplift their peers, explore their boundaries without judgment, and evolve beyond measure. Our goal is to ignite our dancers' passion for dance and curate impactful experiences for both dancers and audiences alike.
