About The Click:
Spearheaded in 2021, The Click is an experiment in organization, connection, and collaboration among a group of like-minded creative spirits living, making, teaching, studying, and/or existing in the Greater Boston area. We are a group of dancers whose primary medium of physical expression is through contemporary forms, but we are also a group of individuals who dabble and play in many modes and genres of creativity.
The Click’s mission is to contribute to the consistent creation, performance, and growth of contemporary dance in both professional and educational spaces across Massachusetts. We work directly with pre-professional student dance programs in the suburbs of Boston and beyond to expose young dancers to a future in dance not often showcased in the mainstream. We collaborate with leaders in Boston and Cambridge to support and spearhead educational programming that services professional dancers in the Greater Boston area.
