Because all human universals are critical to societal maintenance, CCDR acknowledges that dance is not expendable. CCDR is dedicated to learning WHY dance is universal and WHY it is not expendable. It does this through programs that research dance, and it shares its findings with the public and with scholars. CCDR is a Non-Profit Corporation for Consultation, Performance, and Research. In the late 1960's Dr. Kealiinohomoku rendered photos of dancers into silhouettes.
Dancers create shapes with their bodies, their costumes, and their paraphernalia.
The CCDR facility is located within easy walking distance of downtown Flagstaff, Arizona and the Northern Arizona University.
