OUR MISSION

OUR HISTORY

In 2003 Alex E. Simon was invited to perform at the Reichold Center for the Performing Arts in St. Thomas, USVI with the internationally renowned Koresh Dance Company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a company member for this prestigious dance company, Alex was given the privilege to conduct a master class at the Reichold. After being overwhelmed with so many dancers that took part in the master class, he decided it was time to give back to his community where he later returned in the summer and founded Cruzan Dance Company later incorporated on June 23, 2005.

OUR VISION

In 2021, Cruzan Dance Company will open a new state of the art dance facility that will positively impact the lives of our youth and adults alike in the United States Virgin Islands. Our vision is to become a leading pioneer of dance in the Caribbean where we will offer an elite training program taught from some of the best industry professionals from around the world.
