Student Choreography Workshop

After surviving a rigorous application process and with only eight days to set their pieces, our student choreographers each set out to craft a compelling original composition. With the aid of their peers as performers and professional mentors to guide and support their vision, each of these incredibly gifted young choreographers has yielded a piece you do not want to miss.

Congratulations to our choreographers: De'ja Agee, Niani Bailey, Kenedie Campbell, Breanna Dorsey, Darius Malone and Austin Rhett.

And special thanks to our mentors: Liv Schaffer (DanceWorks Chicago), Patrick Ingram (Inaside Chicago Dance), Angela Dice Nguyen (DanceWorks Chicago), Joshua Ishmon (Deeply Rooted Dance Theater), Sarah Stockman (DanceWorks Chicago), Peter Gaona (Independant Choreographer), Matt Wenckowski (DanceWorks Chicago), Keon Nickie (Deeply Rooted Dance Theater), Marco Huicochea (DanceWorks Chicago), Jarrett Kelly (Deeply Rooted Dance Theater), Greg Blackmon (DanceWorks Chicago) and Diana Campos (Joel Hall Dancers).
