Our goals for Dance Matrix Company are threefold:
- To produce events for artists to work together and to share the joy of the performing arts with the Fredericksburg community,
- To create a professional dance company that is open to all dance performing artists in the area.
- To share the performing arts to underserved communities through outreach performances.
