"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."
