Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access

Dance is for Everybody

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is dedicated to pursuing ongoing inclusion across race, gender, culture, spirituality, identity, age, ability, and experience. Dance is a timeless form of human expression and inspiration, and through dance, we are committed to fostering equity, diversity, access, and inclusion for all. The Company stands against racism and continues to engage in meaningful internal dialogue to make measurable changes to our policies, procedures, and programming to meet all of these goals.

Outlined action items will be listed here in the coming months as we work towards outlining and pursuing measurable goals.

Land Acknowledgement 

Ririe-Woodbury acknowledges that the land where we have our offices, studio, and theaters, is located on the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Shoshone, Paiute, Goshute, and Ute Tribes. We recognize the Native communities in our region today and extend our deepest gratitude to those who have stewarded this land. Our organization recognizes the void of representation experienced by these and other indigenous peoples, and through our diversity, equity, inclusion, and access efforts are committed to empowering change. We encourage you to investigate whose land you reside on by visiting native-land.ca and commit to finding ways you can support the Indigenous people in your community.

If you have a particular concern or comment regarding Ririe-Woodbury's commitment to these values, please email us at
