Welcome to the Greater Reading Area Dance Exchange resource page!
Together, we’ll make the G.R.A.D.E.!
Join the GRADE Festival – March 13-15, 2026 at Alvernia University. Click here to be directed to that page.
This page is dedicated to highlighting opportunities for dance for adults in Berks County and beyond. These opportunities are professional, community based, and/ or recreational.
Through this exchange of information and opportunities, we share possibilities of dance in adulthood for youth and others who might identify as “grown ups”. (And yes, we are interested in all of the opportunities for dance for all ages in Berks. This just our starting point. Please help us grow and stay connected!)
Please contact the organizations directly through their website. We are constantly learning, adjusting, and adding to this information.
Follow us on Facebook for regular updates, performances, auditions, archives, and all things dance in the Reading Area.
Watch us on BCTV.org and catch up on our playlist. Click here.
