Groundshare Arts Alliance

Where Dance Meets Storytelling

Welcome to GroundShare

GroundShare Arts Alliance is where dance meets storytelling. Under the direction of Amanda Whiteman, we use dance to explore self, community, and the world in a collaborative process that fosters connection and creativity.

Students have the opportunity to work with teaching artists and performers to explore themes that resonate in their own lives. Past themes include reflections on the pandemic, coping with change, our connections with each other, and overcoming fears. These year long explorations culminate in an original dance theatre production, highlighting the work of our students and teaching artists. Steeped in the tradition of American Modern Dance, GroundShare Arts alliance brings dancers of all ages who bring our individual and unique expressions of self to the group experience. 

Autumnal Partners was a piece in our 2018 Connected Performance

Create

GroundShare’s Dance Theatre is comprised of an adult and youth ensemble that collaborate together in the studio and on stage. This September-June commitment is designed to provide students with technical grounding in modern dance while developing skills in theatrical storytelling and dance choreography.

Learn

Groundshare offers modern/contemporary dance classes for students of all ages. Our classes are designed to provide students with technical grounding while exploring what it means to be moving artists.

Experience

On June 13th and 14th, Groundshare Arts will present our 2026 Production at the Lelia Gordon Theatre at the Reston Community Center. Our spring concert is a vibrant dance theatre production developed through the collaborative work of students and teaching artists. This multi-generational company blends movement and narrative to explore timely themes and foster community through the arts.



The Arc of Us was commissioned by the Reston Community Center for the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival, May 2015.
