Riddick Dance History

Riddick Dance Company, founded in 2009 by David F. Riddick, is the first African American professional Contemporary Dance Company in the Hampton Roads area. Acclaimed for its dramatic expression, technical mastery, and expansive yet nuanced movement, the Riddick Dance Company illustrates the timelessness of David Riddick and Marshall Swiney work and vision. The Company’s repertory, which includes original works in addition to new commissions from contemporary choreographers, possesses an unparalleled breadth and creates unique experiences for audiences around the world. Riddick Dance Company has two major performances at its home theatre, The American Theatre. Riddick Dance Company has performed at Souls of our Feet for Color People Festival (Thelma Hill Performing Center), The Kennedy Center, and more. Riddick Dance is also a part of the Commission for the Arts for the state of Virginia.
