RKDC’s artistic versatility extends itself into the realm of arts education and community service. Having long been California’s South Bay leader in the dance arts, the company has received numerous grants and awards for their work in the fields of dance performance and dance education. In 1999, RKDC was awarded an ongoing partnership with the City of Torrance, Learning Center for Arts Excellence. There, the company has developed a residency program for the local community offering over 35 dance classes a week, performing each spring at the James Armstrong Theatre and producing the yearly SOLA Contemporary Dance Festival, a showcase for emerging local choreographers. In 2001 RKDC incorporated as a 501(c) 3, allowing the company to expand their efforts in bringing quality performances and educational opportunities to a wide-ranging and diverse audience. The non-profit organization is also dedicated to supporting exceptional artists from all disciplines through commissions and exhibitions of their work.
