Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to support the art of dance through increased public exposure and appreciation of movement as an innovative art form. Presenting denver's vision is to inspire individuals to connect and reconsider their world through the art of movement.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, presenting denver served as a vital part of the Colorado dance ecosystem, dedicated to bridging the gap between local artists and audiences through accessibility, equity, and artistic excellence. Key accomplishments included the 2025 dance festival, the expansion of our digital community hub, and our third partnership with the children's museum of denver for denver arts and venues' "night at the museum." we also increased our support for mid- to small-sized artists and organizations. For 2026, we plan to introduce a professional development series featuring quarterly workshops on the "business of dance" in partnership with mercer advisors and brownstein law firm. Additionally, we intend to rebrand the organization to better serve the Colorado arts community.
