Thank you to everyone who attended the festival or the showing and to everyone who has supported or danced with CCP. We literally could not have done it without you!

It has been wonderful 23 years and we are thankful that we are closing CCP with such a positive and inspiring legacy project.

Be Moved, a film by award-winning filmmaker, Jane Pittman, tells the story of the Choreographers Collaboration Project (CCP), a modern dance company based in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, from its beginnings in 1999 to now. The film brings together perspectives of company members, community members, students, and artistic collaborators and focuses on the impact of CCP on the individuals and the communities within Alexandria. This is a story not just about dance, but the much broader narrative about the arts, specifically how a small local dance company can strengthen, build, and create a community that can last a lifetime.

The film includes videos clips of CCP performances since 1999 and interviews with CCP members, students, and collaborators.
The film is a celebration of the commitment of all who have supported CCP.

CCP is proud to present our latest dance video - "A Year of Persistence"

Mary Jo Smet has taken CCP's digital efforts further than we imagined when we started our digital dance series over a year ago. She developed the dance concept, choreographed the dance phrases, edited the videos, and has created a dance that is truly reflective of the past year.

Here are the results - we hope you enjoy!
