About Us
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is among the most original forces in contemporary dance. As one of the only professional dance companies to perform year-round, Hubbard Street is continually touring nationwide and internationally. Now in its 35th year, the main company has appeared in celebrated dance venues in 44 states and 19 countries.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is:
BOLD – Critically acclaimed for its exuberant, athletic and innovative repertoire, Hubbard Street’s dancers display unparalleled versatility and virtuosity in performances that inspire, challenge and engage audiences worldwide.
NEW – Continually expanding its eclectic repertoire with work by leading national and international choreographers, the company contributes to the art form’s evolution by developing new choreographic talent and collaborating with artists in music, visual art and theatre.
INTERNATIONAL – Performing around the world for more than 80,000 people each year, Hubbard Street serves as an emblem of the city's international cultural profile.
UNMATCHED – Performing works by world-renowned choreographers including Nacho Duato, Jirí Kylián, Aszure Barton, Ohad Naharin, Twyla Tharp, Jorma Elo, Johan Inger, Alonzo King and Victor Quijada.
INSPIRATIONAL – The company has become a respected training ground for young and professional dancers, with over 120 classes and workshops held each week through the Youth Dance Program and Lou Conte Dance Studio. Hubbard Street is also proud to have the oldest Parkinson's Program in the Midwest, using dance as a form of therapy and continually evolving the notion of who can dance. When Hubbard Street isn't teaching and training here in the studios, we are reaching more than 20,000 families and students annually through our innovative school programs, in community centers, and in theaters throughout the country.
HARD-WORKING - Under the dynamic leadership of Artistic Director Glenn Edgerton, Hubbard Street is one of the only companies that employs its dancers year-round. With an annual budget of nearly 6 million dollars, and ticket revenue covering only a small portion of those expenses, our board, staff, and community partners work to raise the funds and develop the resources necessary to keep Hubbard Street teaching, training, developing new work, and inspiring students and audiences around the world.
Hubbard Street is moved, quite literally, by dance. LESS
