Founded in 2007 by Artistic Director Martin Lofsnes, 360° Dance Company's mission is to present classic modern dance masterpieces juxtaposed with original contemporary dance works, in order to simultaneously preserve and develop the modern dance lineage. Comprised primarily of former principal dancers from the Martha Graham Dance Company, as well as other professional artists, 360° combines the grit and passion of the legacy's founders with the fearless exploration and innovation of today's modern dance world.

Following a wildly successful premiere season at the Bærum Kulturhus in Oslo, Norway, 360° Dance Company has been featured in the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Sitelines Festival and the Reverb, American Dance Guild, Philadelphia Fringe and Colorado Summer Dance Festivals. The company has also performed at The Overture Center (Madison, WI), Sam Houston University (Huntsville, TX), SUNY/Purchase, Hofstra University, Merce Cunningham Studio, Ailey Citigroup Theater and Dartmouth College. 360° has spent summer residencies at Kaatsbaan International Dance Center and Perry Mansfield Performing Arts Camp, and has been regularly featured in the Historic Dance Theater Foundation's "Dance is a Weapon" lecture demonstration series and the 92nd St. Y's Friday's at Noon series.

In June 2010, 360° presented its premiere NYC Season at the esteemed Dance Theater Workshop (now New York Live Arts), following with a second performance season in 2011. The company moved to the renowned Ailey Citigroup Theater in October 2012 for its Gala 5th Anniversary Season, and has been hailed as "Uniformly powerful [featuring] exhilarating glimpses of our modern dance heritage performed...with equal parts passion and reverence" (Gus Solomons in Solomons Says). 2013 marks 360° Dance Company's sixth year, which will include the preview event on June 13th, 2013 at the Ailey Studios, and a fully produced performance season at the Ailey Citigroup Theater October 3-5, 2013.
