Our Mission

CLYMOVE Dance, Inc., led by Founding Artistic Director Clymene Aldinger was formed with a commitment to virtuosic dance focused on truth and inclusive creative community. The company’s mission is to create message-driven art, movement, and performance.

CLYMOVE seeks to develop a repertoire of purposeful work to be vividly expressed for and within artistic collectivity. The company is dedicated to virtuosic dance that develops from authentic and collaborative exploration. The goal is to encourage the celebration and understanding of differences while nurturing our shared humanity. Our vision is for all artists to cultivate self-expression through movement. 

Mental health awareness is a bedrock of our work, both within our company culture and in the wider communities we engage. Our goal is to develop a community outreach program incorporating clinical mental health curriculum and the healing power of dance. We also continue to strive to be leaders in advocating for mental health and healthcare support for dancers/artists.

Our VISION

CLYMOVE envisions a world in which mental well-being and artistic excellence are inseparable. We actively create a culture in which dancers reach their virtuosic potential while cultivating social-emotional skills. In a field where dancers often lack resources and access to physical and mental healthcare, CLYMOVE imagines a work environment with structures of support and belonging. Through its culture of connection, CLYMOVE strives to be a leader and a model as a dance company. We empower dancers to offer their artistic skills to the wider community from a place of fulfillment, leading to longevity as performers and educators.
