Your investment in Hubbard Street during our 2013–14 season allowed us to bring exciting performances and programming to local and international audiences, demonstrating our strong commitment to our home city of Chicago as well as our deep connections to audiences and artists around the world.

Over the past fiscal year, Hubbard Street experienced artistic milestones including a full series dedicated to Jiří Kylián, and made strides with the greatest expansion in the history of our Youth, Education and Community Programs, all while laying the groundwork for future initiatives and collaborations designed to fulfill our mission to change lives through dance.

Artistic Connections Camp and Dance Explorers Camp, for ages 6–11, give students a chance to create, explore and perform each day.

Technique Workshop Series and Hip-Hop Camp, for ages 7–16, allow dancers to focus on their favorite techniques, through intensive study of ballet, jazz, modern and hip-hop — available “à la carte” or in any combination.

Intensive I Preparatory Summer Intensive is ideal for serious dancers who are working towards advanced and pre-professional course work. Click here for details about our required placement class, which ensures enrollment in the appropriate Intensive.

View two pieces from our Winter Series,  Princess Grace Awards: New Works,
first performed at the 
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago’s
Edlis Neeson Theater in December 2014.

Founder and artistic director of Montréal’s genre-defying RUBBERBANDance Group, Victor Quijada’s work eloquently deconstructs, reimagines and applies choreographic principles to hip-hop ideologies. Enter Woven “examines the push and pull of the environment we live in,” Quijada explains. “We watch as the dancers’ unique stories intertwine, detach, reconnect and transform.” Watch the video by HMS Media.

Robyn Mineko Williams uses “a body’s store of moves — a Michael Jackson thrust, a Flashdance swoon — to inject the present with the texture of memory,” says Appollinaire Scherr, dance critic for the Financial TimesWaxing Moon contemplates the process of becoming; its protagonist considers possibilities for his future through engagement with two forces we see as figures.
