30th Anniversary Celebration

Join Us as We Celebrate Our 30th Year as Beckles Dancing Company! image

Beckles Dancing Company (BDC) was founded in May 1995 by André R. George, the gifted dancer, teacher and choreographer whose career spanned the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean. The ensemble was formed as nova … dancers’ company! with twelve dancers and gave its debut at the Theatre on Elm Street (ToES) in Dallas, TX in November that year. After Mr. George's death the following year, Mr. Beckles assumed the leadership of the company and calling it Nova Dancing Company. As of 1 April 2004, the company is called Beckles Dancing Company! This is a cosmetic change, as the legal name has been, and will remain, ARGA NOVA DANCE. The new name reflected the fiftieth birthday of Artistic Director, Loris Anthony Beckles; his survival for five years past a major health crisis; and the honoring of his family name.

This year marks the Thirtieth Year for Beckles Dancing Company and we are planning a fabulous gala and celebration to commemorate this momentous occasion: Fri & Sat, May 30 & 31, 2025 at the Latino Cultural Center. As we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible journey, we are humbled by the unwavering support of individuals like you who have chosen to share your hearts, time and resources with us. You ARE our BDC family and we need you to be an important part of this incredible event and make this celebration the greatest success!
