REACH DANCE COMPANY

AT THE ATLANTIC THEATER

Reach Dance Company, a professional dance company based out of Jupiter, Florida, presents a brand new show, live at the 175 seat Atlantic Theater on Saturday October 20th at 7pm and Sunday October 21st at 2pm.  Tickets for the show are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for students.

Reach - A Dance Theater Collective is dedicated to preserving the roots of jazz while pushing it to evolve.  Its commitment to truthful story telling through the language of movement and music is its driving force.  The utilization of the dancers strength, emotion and sensuality is at the core of every step, piece and performance.  REACH was founded by M. Konrad as a workshop project in 2005. After an overwhelming response to her explosive and expressive choreography and unique use of music, the company was founded in 2006.  REACH's dancers have a sophisticated sensuality as well as a gleeful sense of fun and a domineering intensity. Its repertoire pays homage to jazz, modern, ballet, funk and ethnic dance. Its dancers are as diverse as its repertoire, coming from many different dance worlds—ballet, modern, post modern, jazz, commercial and ethnic. They have one common trait—Passion.  

REACH has an active touring season throughout the community. The diversity of the work attracts continually increasing audiences across South Florida.  They have performed to sold out audiences at The Atlantic Theater, Abacoa Live, Artigras 2006, The Maltz Jupiter Theater and opened for Florida Dance Theater. The company is available for galas, private performances and venues as well as education outreach.  REACH, a dance theatre collective, makes its home at The Atlantic Theater at Atlantic Arts Academy.
