Company Bio:
Founded in 1980 by Charlottesville dance studio owner Juanita Wilson, The Virginia Dance Company began as the Virginia Dance Club at UVA. Ms. Wilson envisioned a student-run organization that would allow dancers to continue growing their skills throughout college. Each semester, the company holds auditions to attract talented dancers from diverse backgrounds, culminating in a showcase that features 10-12 student-choreographed pieces. Now known around Grounds as DCO, the company has evolved beyond Ms. Wilson’s original vision to become a creative home for some of UVA’s most dedicated and passionate dancers.
