Historical Note

Idaho Dance Theatre is a Professional Contemporary Dance Company located in Boise, Idaho. Founded in 1989 by Marla and Alfred Hansen with Carl Rowe, the company's mission remains to bring contemporary dance to the state of Idaho through outreach and educational programs, and to maintain a space for dancers to develop and explore new creative forms of contemporary dance. Idaho Dance Theatre was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in July of 1990, allowing their performances and outreach to be supported solely by donations from individuals, businesses, grants, and local organizations.
