ALEXANDRA BELLER/DANCES
Alexandra Beller/Dances is an arts company focused on community and education. We offer workshops for artists and movers at every stage of their journey, and work to cultivate community through sharings, showings, and curatorial offerings. Formerly both a performance and education company, we have transitioned to be a hub for creators and movers to support their artistic growth, emotional and physical well-being, and offer a space where everyone is welcome to make, be, observe, invest, dismantle, interrogate, and share in artistic communion. Alexandra Beller works independently as a choreographer for stage and film, teaches through AB/Dances and in Higher Education, and is a freelance writer. The company's life of creative work is housed here. To learn about Alexandra's choreographic work for stage and film visit www.alexandrabeller.com.
