History and Mission

Redd Legg Dance was formed in the Spring of 2005.  Directed by choreographer Kristen Legg, Redd Legg Dance is a modern dance company dedicated to keeping technique and performance quality alive in concert dance.  Legg's works are poignant; at times humorous, at times raucous.  She works to present pieces that speak to a wide audience.

Redd Legg Dance also strives to present child-appropriate works.  It is Legg's goal to create pieces that draw young people in and make dance more accessible to today's youth.

Whether you are a child or an adult, you are sure to enjoy Redd Legg Dance.
