Storytelling through Dance and Live Music

We are a professional performing arts company dedicated to creating original dance theater.  Located in the Can-Can Wonderland building in the heart of St. Paul's Midway neighborhood, our dance company utilizes a variety of styles including theatrical jazz, hip-hop, ballet, tap and contemporary to tell our stories.

Since its inception, Collide has created 15 original full-length dance musicals that have engaged subjects as diverse as the Los Angeles race riots of the 1940s (Zoot Suit Riots), classic Shakespearean drama (Romeo & Juliet-2014 & 2020), prostitution and sex trafficking (Lot of Living to Do), bullying, coming-of-age journeys (Class of ’85), and female empowerment (Le Petit Moulin).  We've also created comic farces (C.L.U), true stories (Dance ‘Til You Drop) and modern takes on classical stories (Dracula, The Great Gatsby and The Picture of Dorian Gray).
