Hubbard Street Dance History
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) was founded in 1977 by Lou Conte, a former dancer and choreographer who aimed to create a space for innovative contemporary dance in Chicago. The company quickly gained acclaim for its commitment to both the technical aspects of dance and the emotional storytelling inherent in each performance. Initially, Hubbard Street operated as a small touring company, but it soon expanded its repertoire and began to attract nationwide attention. In the 1980s, the company started collaborating with various choreographers, including the likes of Alonzo King and Twyla Tharp, which significantly enriched its artistic output. Over the years, HSDC has evolved into a major player in the contemporary dance scene, known for its eclectic mix of styles, from ballet to modern dance. In the 1990s, the company found a permanent home at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Millennium Park, further solidifying its role in Chicago's cultural landscape. As it moved into the 21st century, Hubbard Street Dance continued to innovate, commissioning new works and expanding its educational outreach programs, making dance accessible to a broader audience. The company has received numerous accolades for its contributions to the arts, including several prestigious awards and recognitions for its artistic excellence and community engagement.
