Deeper Than Dance

Deeper Than Dance (DTD) is a non-profit dance company based in Houston, Texas founded by University of Houston dance alumna Mariah Henry. In 2018 Henry established DTD with the mission to provide an environment that uses faith and the Word of God as the main inspiration behind DTD’s movement, as well as to connect the body, soul, and spirit of dancers as they participate in, perform, and create the art of dance. Since DTD’s establishment in 2018, Henry has choreographed several short choreography concept videos under DTD presented via YouTube and Instagram as well as DTD’s official website. In 2019 DTD was invited by national artists platform ‘RAW Artists’ to perform a piece titled “Find Me” originally created for camera at the House of Blues Houston. After Henry’s graduation in 2021, DTD focused on a dance on film project titled HERO that debuted at the MATCH on June 25, 2022. The show included various Houston based dancers and choreographers live performances followed by the 30-minute long dance film. DTD is now continuing to work on new dance on film projects. DTD is working on producing an evening length work with hopes to debut it in the spring of 2024.
