ABOUT 

The 2021 RVA Dance Awards Show is an annual awards ceremony and performance production created in an effort to recognize the many talented performing artists and contributors amongst the growing dance community in Richmond, Virginia. 

​

Due to the abrupt entrance of COVID-19, we will be adjusting the number of recipients this year, since all of our performances and creativity were unexpectedly abbreviated.  An RVA Dance Award will be presented to 17 artistic professionals across all dance genres including but not limited to:

​

Best Dance Company

Best Choreography

Dancer of the Year

Best Collaboration

 Choreographer of the Year

 Dance Instructor of the Year

 Dance Studio of the Year

Artistic Direction

... and so many more!

​

Recipients of each award will be selected by our esteemed RVA Dance Awards Nomination Committee -- a small group of distinguished colleagues and dance professionals that are committed to making the performing arts, particularly dance, a priority in the city of Richmond, VA.  Comprised of professionals within the University of Richmond Arts Department, Dogtown Dance Theatre and Studio 4 Dance Agency, our diverse selection of members will be united in their mission to acknowledge and support Richmond's performing artists by celebrating and recognizing their accomplishments.
