ChrisTOPHER Dance

Christopher M. Dance is a figurative sculptor from Indianapolis. Dance’s classical figurative approach exists as an anachronism and also as a celebration of history, craft, and the beauty and mystery of the human form and psyche.​

He is a classically trained artist who studied at Herron School of Art and Design, as well as in Italy. Dance has been a teacher at Pike High School in Indianapolis for 12 years serving as the main ceramics and sculpture instructor.

Universal themes and delicate mysteries evoke the power and drama of the posture and gesture, and create a play between subject and viewer. Dance is intrigued by what the form reveals and conceals by ways of movement and dialogue and seeks to capture the moment where physicality bends to the realm of the unseen and the magic of our everyday existence is revealed.
