Polaris Dance Theatre

Polaris Dance Theatre was founded in 2002 under the artistic direction of Robert Guitron who has taught, choreographed, and performed throughout the U.S., Italy, and Japan. Over the past ten years, Polaris has produced over 340 new works and brought the joy of dance to nearly 11,000 audience members of all ages and backgrounds. Polaris Dance Theatre crafts innovative, compelling works of contemporary dance and performs at a wide range of venues. From free public performances to affordable season productions, their goal is to remain accessible to families of all socioeconomic levels. Their season consists of three fully-staged productions by their professional dance company, incorporating innovative new work, showcasing local, national, and international dancers and choreographers. The pre-professional, Polaris Junior Company performs twice annually, and their diverse group of students show their skills in the annual Winter and Spring Student Performances. By providing opportunities for performing artists of mixed abilities to participate in Polaris programming, they are bringing together the community and proving that EVERY BODY can move in a beautiful way. Polaris’ artistic programs focus on the development of each dancer’s artistic voice and talents, creating a deeper self-value and esteem in each dancer and providing audience members with a heightened emotional response to the dance performance.
