Lunge Dance Collective

Lunge Dance Collective is a project-based dance company founded by Billy Bell, in March of 2010. The goal was to expose young artists to each other, in hopes of creating a stronger network for them to aid one another and start their budding careers. What resulted was so much more when Lunge became not only an artistic escape for the dancers, but also a family and a group of artists who truly value the love for art, andeach other. Originating with 19 artists: 1 choreographer, 1 lighting designer, 1 photographer, and 16 dancers, Lunge has now expanded across North America and has had the privilege to cross paths with over 60 artists, including 2 choreographers, 3 lighting designers, 6 photographers, 2 lm directors, 1 partnering dance company, and 45 dancers, each of to whom Lunge Dance Collective owes all of its success and artistic merit. Lunge continues to be one of the most promising emerging contemporary dance companies in the U.S, as its audience and list of collaborating artists grows and expands. With innovative ideas and mass opportunity, Lunge Dance Collective believes that anything is possible and strives to create boundary pushing art that is both marketable and unique.
