Ririe Woodbury Dance Company meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Stated Purpose:

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company provides performance and dance education.


Year, State Incorporated:
1972, UT

A resident of the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, now in its 55th season, annually presents three home season fully-produced programs in Salt Lake City with eleven performances.  Each of the three programs includes a one-hour, inexpensive Saturday matinee, the Moving Parts Family Series.  Additionally, it presents 11 free school matinees for up to 10,000 schoolchildren.  Some Spanish narration is used as it strives to be more inclusive.  Touring takes it everywhere from the remote corners of Utah, to Europe, and to Asia.

Its extensive Education Program is sanctioned by, and partially funded by the Professional Outreach Program to Schools (POPS), Utah State Board of Education.  In the typical 2017-18 season, its Education Program impacted over 32,000 students and teachers at 131 public and charter schools in 18 Utah school districts.  In-school services were 94% for Title 1 schools.  Typically, 83% (36 of the 43) dancer weeks and 55% of its annual budget are dedicated to its Educational Program for youth throughout the State.

With six dancers, the Company continues to be at the forefront of the national “dance-scape,” commissioning and presenting contemporary works to the residents of Utah by renowned and emerging choreographers from New York City, Israel, Denmark, England, France, Australia, Mexico, Utah, and other states.
