Letter from the Director
"Well, it's a new year now and, as usual, my thoughts turn to reflection. When I wrote last year that I could never have imagined what 2016 would look like, I definitely could not have imagined the 2017 that Inlet Dance Theatre has had. I can only sum it up in one word - WOW! Our successes have always been, and will continue to be, rooted in the mission that guides our daily work - using dance to further people. It's as simple as that! Each member of Inlet Dance Theatre believes in their core that dance has value; dance is important; and dance can be used as a bridge to transform lives. I'm not even sure where to start, but click below for a few highlights."
