audiences, Ross is committed to community outreach and educating young dancers. The
company offers beginning-to-advanced level workshops in hip hop, ballet, contemporary,

choreographers that come from excellent training. Ross Dance goal is to give dance back
to the community since the community created it. It is our vision to give dancers who have
a dream and a passion to dance to share their story.
