Key objectives of the company are to achieve the highest level of quality dance creation, production and performance; and to train, mentor and provide opportunities for professional dancers in the Northern Territory. They also work with the Australian Red Cross to deliver youth rehabilitation programs and dance workshops to disadvantaged Indigenous youth in remote NT communities.
