Dancer Paychecks

The heart of RDC’s mission. Over two-thirds of RDC’s annual budget goes directly to artist paychecks, with about 45% going directly to dancers.

Support ample compensation for professional dancers and help challenge the narrative of the “starving artist”.

Mainstage Performances

RDC professionally produces two mainstage performances per season - a repertory show in the Fall and an evening-length premiere in the Spring.

Support theater and production budgets that bring our artists' work to life.

Education & Local Outreach

RDC reaches both youth and adult dancers through sustainable training, performance platforms, and opportunities to work with diverse artists.

Support programs including Seen: STL, open classes, RDC's Summer Intensive, and more.

Mental Health in Dance

RDC values and prioritizes mental health as part of creating a sustainable and successful future for all dance artists.

Support free and affordable access to mental health care for dancers, sponsored community trainings, and more.

Touring Performances & Outreach

RDC tours to regional festivals, conferences, and universities to share performances, master classes, and workshops - spreading our mission beyond St. Louis and connecting with diverse artists across the country.

Support RDC's ability to tour by funding travel, accommodation, and artist fees.
