Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company was founded in 1964 by two Utah women, Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe, who were both professors of dance at the University of Utah. Over the years, the Company has grown from a predominantly local to what is now an internationally renowned modern dance company, having performed in every state in the U.S. as well as Europe, South Africa, the Philippines and the British Isles. The Company performs not only the works of American master Alwin Nikolais, but those by both cutting-edge and emerging choreographers as well, including works by Company Artistic Director, Charlotte-Boye Christensen.
