CDP is a contemporary dance company based in the Twin Cities. Company members work together to conceive, choreograph, and perform in full length dance productions, while sharing their passion for dance with the local community.

CDP believes that the creation and performance of dance should be a shared experience between artists and their audience.  CDP hosts weekly open classes in Northeast Minneapolis, teaches workshops for youth and adult dancers across the Midwest, allies with local musicians, writers, and visual artists every season, and seeks to make the production of dance more than what you see on stage.
