We’re launching all kinds of new opportunities for advanced and pre-professional dancers, including our first-ever Level IV Summer Intensive in Los Angeles, through August 12 at the University of Southern California, where our students are working in-depth with Princess Grace Award–winning choreographer Robyn Mineko Williams.
You are the choreographer at our Week-Long Intensive.
Our first-ever workshop focused entirely on participant-led choreography begins Monday, August 22 at the Hubbard Street Dance Center. Led by Hubbard Street 2 Director Terence Marling, and Artistic Associate and Coordinator of Pre-Professional Programs Meredith Dincolo, our Fall Dancemakers Intensive gives early-career and pre-professional dancers the opportunity to create and present their own work.
Register by this Wednesday, August 10 and get 25% off one of our September Studio Series events! See below for details.
Announcing our Fall 2016 Studio Series
On September 10, Indonesian contemporary dance company Nan Jombang kicks off our Fall 2016 Studio Series with a master class combining the traditional West Sumatran martial art of Silat Minangkabau with contemporary dance and body percussion.
Choreographer Peter Chu’s works push the physical bounds of movement, bringing both sharp and liquid-like energies into contrast. On September 17, Chu returns to Hubbard Street for a four-hour workshop during which advanced students can focus on free-form movement and spatial composition.
Space is limited! These events are limited to 30 participants. Follow this link to learn more about Hubbard Street’s Studio Series.

Parkinson’s Project
Thanks to a generous grant from the National Parkinson’s Foundation, Hubbard Street’s Parkinson’s Project — the longest-running dance class in the Midwest for people living with the disease — is expanding its reach. We are currently looking for partners on Chicago’s South and West Sides to help us grow this effective and important Adaptive Dance Program. Parkinson’s Project classes return this September to the Hubbard Street Dance Center; sign up for a drop-in class, or register to observe one today.
Thanks to the generosity of one of our donors, Hubbard Street has received a new matching gift. For the month of August only, this donor is matching all contributions — up to $20,000!
Help support our collaborative programming with artistic professionals, choreographers, teachers and students in Chicago Public Schools, and dancers of all ages and abilities.
