Our Mission
Aimed Dance, a 501(c)3 performing arts organization, seeks to foster an awareness of and value for dance as a fine art within our community by providing educational programs, live performance events, and a professional network. Cultivating a sense of collaboration, Aimed Dance strives to engage, invest, and inspire our community while offering access and exposure to past, present, and future dance ideologies.
Our Vision
Aimed Dance dreams of a community socially and globally aware of the impact dance and other fine arts may have and how these benefits improve not only our personal development but our cultural and economical success.
Our History
Aimed Dance, originally founded as Rednerrus Feil Dance Company in 2006 by artistic director Amy Elizabeth, presented work throughout the Greater Houston Area for over twelve years. Striving to produce performance art that pushes the performer, designers and audience beyond assumptions and expectations, Aimed Dance has over 40 works in our repertory presented by the American College Dance Association, DanceHouston, Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival, Pilot: Choreographers Take Flight, Big Range Houston: Dance Gathering, Houston Fringe Festival, The Dance Gallery, Stage 6, Artist for Hope, Barnstorm Dance Festival and additional venues throughout Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana.
In 2017, Amy Elizabeth and Aimed Dance relocated to Southeast Texas and began the process of restructuring the organization to better serve our local community. Aimed Dance now has an Education First approach to all aspects of our programming and organizational processes. We proudly serve as a mentorship/ internship leader in our industry through the Aimed Dance Company (performance), the Young Professionals Production Team (production), and the Aimed Team (administration), all focused on granting young professionals practical service-learning experience toward their future career paths. Aimed Dance extends educational opportunities through our scholarship program that has granted over $13,000 to date. With the addition of our Winter Workshop and Summer Fest: SETX Dance Festival, we connect local dancers with regional, national, and international dance educators and choreographers and expand our concert season to four productions annually.
Aimed Dance is continuing to move with purpose and we genuinely hope you will join us for a class, concert, or open event.
