Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, under the artistic direction of Glenn Edgerton since 2009, celebrates 34 years as one of the most original and forward-thinking forces in contemporary dance. The core purpose of Hubbard Street is to bring artists, art and audiences together to enrich, engage, educate, and transform lives through the experience of dance. Hubbard Street serves as an emblem of the city’s international cultural profile and continues its role as a leader in the field of dance, pushing the art forward by creating new works, diversifying repertoire, and cultivating the next generation of dancers and choreographers.

(HS2), now led by Taryn Kaschock Russell, was formed in 1997 to prepare dancers ages 18-25 for the life of a professional dancer in a contemporary company. HS2 provides talented young dancers with a chance to develop their professional experience, fast becoming dynamic and bold dancers. The company’s vibrant environment gives dancers the experiences necessary to develop strong technique and an individual voice. HS2 dancers are notorious for their athleticism and fearless dancing. To date, 17 HS2 dancers have advanced to the main company and many more have joined other national and international companies.

HS2’s six dancers reach over 60,000 people annually by appealing to a wide variety of venues. HS2 has expanded the diversity of its programs providing valuable outreach in schools, site specific work in museums and cultural institutions, and evening length repertoire performances. In 12 short years, the company has become a respected training ground for professional dancers performing a diverse and compelling repertoire to critical acclaim at venues around the world. HS2 has been honored to perform at many prestigious venues including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Joyce Soho and North Carolina School of the Arts.
