Project-Based Performances!

BOOT Dance Project creates impactful, project-based performances that bring together dance artists from across Texas. This model allows us to collaborate with artists from many regions and communities, showcasing the diversity, depth, and excellence of dance throughout our state.

Each performance is uniquely crafted with Texas-based artists from our growing roster, highlighting bold new works and meaningful artistic exchange.

We are always open to collaboration with presenters, festivals, studios, and community partners interested in bringing BOOT Dance Project to their space or co-creating new work together.

Explore highlights from our past performances below, we can’t wait to share what’s next.

DPRTRE7

This work embodies the vibrant energy of airports, where movement and stillness coexist amid constant transitions. It explores the balance between the chaotic hustle and brief moments of calm, reflecting the unique character that emerges in these spaces of endless possibility.

Performances Include: George Mason University (2024) and {254}DANCEFEST (2025)

FORGE

FORGE is a powerful piece that delves into the journey of forging a path carrying the weight of leaving and facing the judgments that follow. The piece embodies resilience and sacrifice and is infused with Jessie’s Scottish heritage. The music of bagpipes weaves through the choreography, grounding the story in tradition.

Performances Include: Break-In Dance Fest (2025)
