Alma Dance Theater is an all women's performing group, created + directed by Miami native choreographer Marissa Alma Nick. The contemporary dance company, deemed "provocative, intelligent & unexpected" by the Miami New Times, is a sheer force of heart and body. Through the language of dance, Alma Dance Theater creates an emboldened voice for the soul.
