Northern Plains Dance Expands!

Northern Plains Dance announces the purchase of the former Front Street Millworks building.

Located in the “Machining District,” the 16,460 sq ft will double the space Northern Plains Dance holds currently. The new building will allow NPD to expand their programs for all ages and skills, and allow other art programs to have access to the space, creating new relationships within the arts community.
Northern Plains Dance is currently in a $7 million campaign for the purchase, renovation, and endowment.
The “Machining District” neighborhood is located near Downtown Bismarck, and was recently added to the Renaissance Zone and also identified in the City of Bismarck’s Infill and Redevelopment Plan.
Northern Plains Dance staff invites the community to learn more about the The Next Step, and the variety of ways to contribute.
