Roxann Morgan wrote about her dance company:  In the spring of 2009 Next Reflex Dance Collective has some exciting performances.  We will be performing at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage on Thursday, Feb. 12th at 6pm.  We will be revisiting West Potomac Academy in Fairfax for a lecture demonstration and master class.  Our "en Route" project will be heading a little south to Richmond Virginia in March, where we will be collaborating with local Richmond artists to present an evening of modern dance at the Grace Street Theater.  NRDC will also be organizing a site specific performance series as part of "Dance is the Answer" (DITA) in April. 

NRDC is  now part of The Virginia Commission for the Arts Performing Arts Tour Directory 09-10.  You can check out the directory online at http://www.arts.virginia.gov/directories/performing/index.html
