Hubbard Street Dance Chicago

"Hubbard Street Dance Chicago was founded in 1977 by veteran dancer and choreographer Lou Conte. Today, under the leadership of Artistic Director Jim Vincent, 20 culturally diverse dancers represent Hubbard Street Dance Chicago throughout the world, performing annually for more than 100,000 people. During its 24-year history, HSDC has emerged as an innovative force in contemporary dance, combining theatrical jazz, modern and classical ballet technique to create an unparallel artistic style.

"Hubbard Street 2, currently working with the DARE Dance Program, is HSDC’s second company and is the center piece of HSDC’s community education program. Formed in 1997, the company performs in schools, community centers and theaters, bringing the next generation of world-class concert dancers and choreographers to more than 30,000 people annually."
