Mission Big Dance is a creative opportunity where the large body is inspiration and vessel to the art of dance. We co-ordinate a supportive, energetic and co-operative learning and working environment. We seek creative challenge and strive for artistic excellence. Each person is committed to becoming the best dancer she or he can be through training, rehearsal and performance. The repertory of Big Dance covers a full range of themes of the human experience as expressed in modern dance and dance theater. We seek out and accept opportunities to perform locally, nationally and internationally. Where appropriate we speak publicly to the issues of size, body image and dance in the context of our individual experience and in a way that represents our selves and Big Dance in the best possible light. We seek out new members for Big Dance among those who are willing to make the commitment each member of this group has made. Adopted: November 14, 1999
