Bowen McCauley Dance was founded in 1996 by choreographer, dancer, and teacher Lucy Bowen McCauley. Lucy's deft blending of modern and ballet along with her wit, energy, sensuality, and strong musicality, has won her many fans. Her skillful use of individual dancers' natural talents has won her the loyalty of some of the finest performers in the DC area. In late 1996 the dance company was incorporated and received recognition as a non-profit organization by the IRS. The company is governed by an independent, volunteer board of directors drawn from the local community.
