Minnesota Dance Theatre and the Dance Institute

In 1962 Loyce Houlton embarked on an artistic journey that would change the artistic landscape and have a lasting impact on the world of dance. The legacy of Minnesota Dance Theatre continues with a courageous vision and masterfully-integrated dance techniques that represent this flagship organization.

Minnesota Dance Theatre is currently renowned as one of Minnesota's cultural treasures with an eclectic international voice performing "dance that dares".

“Being aware of our changing environment without losing the richness of the past we can incorporate and integrate into our program the worthwhile moments of movement that can change the visible world of dance … the art we serve and love.” - Loyce Houlton
