Here we grow
Connecting the human experience
Our Mission
Anthony Performance Group is an inclusive multi-generational contemporary dance company that embraces movement as a living, evolving expression of the human experience. Rooted in improvisation, emotional awareness, circular flow, and embodied practice, our work values authenticity over perfection and process as much as performance. We foster spaces where artists can listen deeply, take creative risks, and discover movement from within, creating performances that invite audiences into honest, present, and transformative encounters.
Raleigh has a vibrant dance community, but professional performance opportunities for adult dancers remain limited. Anthony Performance Group was created to change that.
4 Pillars of aPG
Professionalism — We treat all dancers and artists as professional artists, regardless of age or experience.
Inclusivity — We accept and create space for different ages, backgrounds, experiences, and movement histories.
Human storytelling — We create contemporary work that explores real human experiences rather than choreography existing purely for aesthetics.
Growth — We give dancers and choreographers opportunities to develop, create, perform, and build professional experience.
Our vision
We envision a future where contemporary dance is experienced as a living dialogue—one that values emotional authenticity, embodied intelligence, and human connection. Anthony Performance Group strives to create inclusive spaces where artists and audiences alike encounter movement not as a spectacle, but as a transformative act of presence.
