stories from the stage
Lore is a private dance collective of performing artists who share a passion for storytelling through movement. We offer extensive weekly training, competitive challenges, and artistic development for recreational and competitive dancers in Lubbock, TX and surrounding cities.
Adding LORE to your dance means infusing your movements with a deeper sense of story, background, and meaning beyond just the physical steps. Therefore, we believe in the power of dance to narrate, inspire, and transform people on stage and beyond.

ABOUT US
we empower dancers to align their actions to their authentic selves and lead more purposeful and impactful lives
The word "lore" embodies a collection of wisdom and culture shared through storytelling. It's a vehicle that helps valuable insights, knowledge, and values flow through generations. Lore Dance Collective was established on this concept, as we believe dance is a compelling form of storytelling that transcends time while inspiring transformation, connectedness, and enlightenment in life.
Lore Dance Collective offers dancers a positive, growth-focused environment to utilize the power of dance for self-discovery, self-expression, and self-development. We help people become more confident, disciplined, adaptable, and fulfilled by telling stories through the language of movement.
