Inertia Dance Company promotes cultural literacy through performances and workshops, and provides service learning opportunities for Missouri State University students. The company develops public service initiatives for public schools that enhance learning through movement. These initiatives include dance technique and creative movement workshops for high school students and workshops for high school teachers that explore how dance can enrich and support current curriculum.

The mission of Inertia Dance Company is to increase awareness about dance by presenting live dance performances in high schools and the regional community, to introduce high school students to various forms of dance and creative movement, and to bring an awareness of the learning potential inherent in dance and movement to the public school community. Prior to the performance, the members of Inertia Dance Company engage in a variety of dance technique and creative movement activities with the students. These activities then develop into an interactive component. In other words, there are several moments during the performance when the students actually become part of the development of the performance.
