When most people hear the word “art,” they think of visual arts like painting, photography, and ceramic. But one of the most dynamic, evocative forms of art is dance. Movement and music come together to express abstract ideas and emotions; the body becomes both artist and medium.

Off Center Dance has created over 30 new works and six dance films. Their gifted dancers are immensely passionate and have dedicated years to the study and performance of dance.

We’re certainly grateful for the beauty Off Center Dance adds to the reality of the Treasure Valley community! For more information visit their website, or on Instagram @offcenterdanceidaho.

The Pettitt Group is thrilled to continue supporting local artists and local arts-based nonprofits.
