Mission
The mission of Curio Dance is to harness the power of learning to fuel and ignite the passion of artistic performance for dancers of all abilities.
Vision
Our vision is to be recognized globally for creating, celebrating, and nurturing a limitless love of dance.
Values
CURIOSITY: We encourage our artists, students, and dancers to remain curious in their dance; it is a gateway to discovery and creativity that helps them remain connected to what they want to express through movement.
UNITY: We find strength in our diversity, which in turn adds vibrancy to all we do. When we are united we unlock a heightened spirit of generosity and celebration.
RESPONSIBILITY: We hold a collective sense of responsibility to our dancers, our colleagues, and our natural world. We trust that they share their very best with us, and we in turn commit to being present as our very best selves.
INCLUSIVITY: As a family, we bring an appreciation for how we are better when we are together. The connectivity we extend to all of the Curio Dance family creates abundance and respect that ripples out beyond our studio to our dance family members’ own community connections.
OPENNESS: Practicing an open mind and attitude leads to new, innovative collaborative opportunities within our community.
Leadership
Dario Mejia, Giselle Mejia, and Caitlin Mejia provide quality dance training and share their passion for dance whether students are aiming for a career on stage or dancing for personal health. The dedication and attitude of our students reflect the positive values we believe in- that all dancers have a unique potential and all efforts are valued. A “curio” is “a unique artifact.” Curio Dance believes each dancer brings their own gifts to be explored and celebrated.
Dario, Giselle and Caitlin, professional dancers, have had rigorous training at highly demanding and elite University programs and have performed with national dance companies on stage, television and film. The choreography at Curio Dance is original, fresh, and evolving to reflect the music and movement of our era.
