This Italian and American dance company, founded
in 2007

Has under the direction of Artistic Director Caterina Rago and Executive Director Cheryl Kaplan increased its USA and international presence through an extensive series of ongoing performance and educational programs that include a wide and diverse international audience. CRDANCE is based on an “El Sistema” approach to dance and looks at choreography much like musicians or an orchestra might look at a set of scores to create inventive and entertaining works that challenge how dance is experienced today.

CRDANCE also offers educational programs through Tecniche di Danza Moderna (TDM)

A division of CRDANCE Company, LLC. TDM offers intensive master classes in technique while also exploring the choreographic repertoire of CRDANCE and other international modern dance companies, giving dancers a well-formed knowledge base of dance from the ground up. TDM is aimed at international students and professional dancers from the United States, Europe and Haiti among others.
