Sitting with [the members of Gina Gibney Dance] one afternoon felt like being with an extended family of women who share a longing to set the world right.

Gina Gibney Dance is a performing and community action dance company with a two fold mission: To create and perform contemporary choreography that draws upon the strength and insights of women, and to enrich and reshape lives through innovative community programs that help families, youth and senior members of the community express themselves through movement.

Company - An all female troupe of five versatile and talented dancers, who perform Gina Gibney's deeply personal choreography and demonstrate strength, power and creativity in their performance and community choices. Gibney's unique approach to dance questions what it means to be human with all of the attendant pain, beauty and mystery and examines the complex nature of meaningful relationships, self knowledge and the socially committed life. Each year Gina Gibney Dance creates new works of choreography, mounts a New York season, and tours throughout the United States and abroad.

Community - A pioneering force in linking dance with social service, the company's groundbreaking community initiatives use the transforming power of movement to assist members of disenfranchised communities and survivors of violence to heal, find their voice and build new lives. Annually, these community initiatives serve thousands of participants through three distinct programs: Domestic Violence Project, Keep Moving for youth-at-risk, and the company's new initiative for Moving the Community, an initiative for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.
