COLD SPRING DANCE

​

THE COMPANY

​

MISSION:

Cold Spring Dance is a contemporary dance company committed to making Art History and Nature come to life through movement.

​

VISION:

The Cold Spring Dance studio and gardens are set on a mountaintop location that includes the home of the late author, architect, engineer and Columbia University Professor Mario Salvadori. Salvadori sought to engage his students by demonstrating the practical role of mathematics and science in their everyday lives. The Company’s headquarters, performance and studio space serve as an inspirational setting for rehearsals, workshops and productions. Thus, Cold Spring Dance furthers Salvadori’s philosophy of engaging students by incorporating art and creativity in their everyday lives.

​
