Joppa Dance Company presents…

The Spin We’re In

$15 / all ages

Joppa Dance Company, founded in 1983, is a noncompetitive, nonprofit 501c3 youth dance troupe based at The Dance Place in Newburyport.  Without the pressure of competing,  Joppa dancers can focus on building a wide range of techniques, perform regularly, and mount their own choreography. This creative freedom allows the dancers to grow, and discover their own artistic style. Joppa auditions are held every June. Once a member, each dancer commits to weekly ballet classes and company classes. Joppa also travels to New York each year to perform in a showcase hosted by Performing Arts Educators, (PAE). Since 2014, Joppa has also traveled overseas with PAE to perform with other companies at outdoor, open-to-the-public venues. Joppa has traveled to Scotland, Spain, Italy, and Greece. These trips have been a special time, and have given dancers the opportunity to see and learn about other cultures while they’re doing what they love.
