Founded in 1999, Clinard Dance is pioneering a unique style of flamenco dance, that rely’s heavily on the flamenco body's rhythms and sense of improvisation. 

Clinard’s productions result from years of sustained, collaborative inquiry into a vast range of ideas.  This inquiry can take many forms, but it always brings together people from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds that have to do with people's place and sense of belonging.

Clinard Dance is committed to pioneering a unique approach to contemporary and American-style Flamenco. Our productions are the result of sustained work and collaborative inquiry within our community, surrounding neighborhoods, and between local, national, and international artists. We use the traditional Flamenco structure to organize seemingly disparate disciplines to create a unified whole. We do this by substituting the conventional Flamenco interplay between dancer, guitarist, and singer for the given disciplines in each project. Our inquiries bring together people from multiple disciplines and cultural backgrounds, our inquiries center around individual's ideas of place, sense of belonging and how art can educate and excite change.

For Clinard Dance Connect the Dots provides various services ranging from Grant Writing and editing to Media Kit  design and artistic and project  mentorship.
