Indigenous Pitch Dance Collective, Inc. is a collective of ethnically diverse Philadelphia-based dance companies whose goal is to create and perform works of artistic excellence that reflect and highlight the diversity of our city and its native, homegrown dance styles. We support emerging choreographers by providing rehearsal space, critical feedback and performance opportunities in which to explore and develop their artistic styles. Through the art of dance, we assist and nurture children affected by natural and/or socioeconomic disasters. We fulfill this mission with performances, residencies and workshops throughout the United States and abroad. Our History IPDC first formed in 2006 to produce a show for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. The initial performance was called “Indigenous Pitch” and was made up of the core IPDC companies: Binc, Illadelphlave, and Underground Dance Works. After a successful performance, the name stuck and the performing aspect of Indigenous Pitch was formed.
