Our Mission
Sparrow Dance Productions:
Conserving the integrity, the education and the presentation of dance art. Mindfully inclusive, compassionate and kind. Dance is not for the elite but rather for us all.
The grace of a Sparrow. The soul of a dancer.
Sparrow Dance Productions, at the time a modern dance company, was originally founded in New York, NY in 2010 by Christina Daly. During Sparrow’s first New York season, the company performed at several alternative venues demonstrating the versatility and adaptability of Sparrow’s performers. Venues included the rooftop of White Plains, NY’s Trump Tower; Nyack, NY’s Olive’s; and two of Nyack, NY’s elementary charter schools as a part of an original Sparrow outreach program.
Upon returning to her native state, New Mexico, Daly continued her choreographic endeavors with Sparrow Dance Productions by producing freelance venue specific projects. Sparrow dancers have been spotted rehearsing along the Rio Grande River, performing at the African American Performing Arts Center, the Wheels Museum in Downtown Albuquerque, Fusion Academy of the Arts, and Rio Rancho High School's Performing Arts Center, as well as multiple venues throughout Rio Rancho and the greater Albuquerque area. In 2013, Sparrow began performing on the fashion runway for Santa Fe Fashion Week, becoming SFFW's annual runway dance company for six years running before resigning.
In May 2017, Christina Daly and James Smith opened Sparrow Dance Productions first physical location in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Since then, hundreds of youth and adult dancers have had the opportunity to experience the art of dance and performance with Sparrow Dance Productions.
Our History
Our Manifesto
Should there be further disruption to those who dream and dream big, may they come to Sparrow Dance Productions. As an audience member, sit and be taken away, be inspired, be understood. As a dancer, dance and get carried away, inspire, and most importantly, be understood.
