ABOUT US

Dance Performance Group a small dance/theater company of highly physical performers was founded in 1989 to present Nancy Havlik's choreography. The multi-faceted dances address the human condition, individual struggle for connection and matters of the heart.

Company members and Nancy Havlik engage in a highly collaborative rehearsal process involving improvisation, writing, exploration of text and visual art to realize the finished work.
Composers, designers, musicians and writers are a vital part of the creative mix. The Company presents performances and workshops to a rich, varied audience and is committed to making the choreography available to those who often do not have access to dance performance.

Dance Performance Group has been presented extensively in Washington, DC (Dance Place, Jack Guidone Theater, Joe's Movement Emporium, Gunston Arts Center, Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington ) and
* Joyce Soho & Wax (Williamsburg Art Nexus) New York City
* Eastern Europe (Czech Republic and Slovakia)
