Push Dance Company is a performing arts organization based in the United States and founded in 2005. Under the direction of Raissa Simpson, the company creates interdisciplinary work that incorporates collaboration with visual artists, pyrotechnic dancing, live music, and community projects, with touring as a core component. Its programming centers on race, gender, identity, history, and the digital divide, aiming to engage communities through non-traditional dance experiences and by connecting non-dancers with professional artists. The organization operates across three main programming areas: developing innovative collaborations, integrating community participation into artistic creation, and maintaining a presence in the national dance scene through touring. Recent activities include adding an administrative assistant in 2023, reflecting ongoing organizational development while continuing festival, educational programs, and community-focused work established in prior years.
