GRIDLOCK Dance prioritizes our values of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Accessibility (DEIJA) through a multifaceted approach that is ever evolving. Our commitment to these principles manifests in various aspects of our operations:

Accessibility: Whenever possible, we provide accommodations to make our work accessible, including prioritizing things like accessible venues, accessible seating, captioning, and sign language interpretation.

Anti-Racism: We vow to disrupt all forms of racial discrimination whenever and wherever we may encounter it. We reject the actions and messages of racism and embrace the work of anti-racism.

Community Engagement: We actively engage with the broader community to provide opportunities for all to dance. This often manifests as free improv jams, workshops, and classes for movers of all abilities.

Gender Inclusivity: We respect and celebrate the diverse gender identities within the dance community. We do not hire dancers based on gender identity or expression, and instead prioritize each individual’s artistry.

Intersectionality: We are committed to understanding and addressing the intersecting dimensions of identity, including race, gender, sexuality, and ability.

Open Auditions: We hire dancers solely through free and public auditions. We believe in the importance of removing barriers to entry and creating opportunities for all to showcase their talents.

Transparent Hourly Rates: By providing transparent hourly rates, we ensure that compensation is fair and just, fostering economic equity within the dance community. We are strong advocates for financial transparency and equality.

This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. Our commitment to social justice is ongoing, as is our commitment to exploring opportunities to live out our values.
