Rockford Dance Company is bringing something special to Rockford City Market— and we want the whole community in on it.

On July 17, a large group of community participants will "take over" the Market with a surprise flash mob.

Now is your opportunity to participate in a Flash Mob!

No experience required. No audition. Just sign up, show up to rehearsals, and get ready to be part of something the whole city will be talking about.

This is open to everyone — all ages, all experience levels. Sign up at RockfordDanceCompany.com

Keep Dancing, Rockford!🕺💃

We are honored to share that we have been awarded the Cultural Excellence Award from the Rock Valley Culture of Belonging Committee! And to make it extra special, long-time RDC dancer and advocate, Shelton Kay, shared a heartfelt and beautiful introduction about Rockford Dance Company at the awards ceremony.

High standards and open doors coexist here at RDC in a way that is genuinely rare, and we are proud of ALL the dancers, instructors, and community members that have supported our mission over the years!

Thank you, Rock Valley College, for hosting such a meaningful event. And a big Thank You to the Northern Illinois Center for Nonprofit Excellence (NICNE) for your unwavering support of local non-profits and your continued advocacy for the good works all the nominees do for our community.
