What is different about Dance Chicago and other showcases?
Answer – THE SHOW. All our shows are artistically driven to give audiences the best entertainment ride possible. We have 14 years of tuning shows to perfection with considerations of music, length of works, quality of works and performers to give audiences an optimum journey. Unlike other showcases that program from the point of view of the artist’s needs, we program from the audiences’ needs – making it a magical and inspirational experience.
Whether they are dancers from Joffrey, Giordano,
Hubbard Street, the Dutch National Ballet or elsewhere, we focus
on the works, not simply the company’s name or individual artists. We spend all year
looking at 2,000 different dances – the competition is stiff - to get
the best 200 works that can move you.
We guarantee you that there is no better place to witness the finest Chicago dance entertainment than Dance Chicago 2009.
