Overview
As bold in the classroom as on the stage, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago offers a
broad range ofeducation and community programs that enrich the learning process
while fulfilling HSDCs mission to be a leading dance educator. HSDC seeks to change
the lives of students through dance by providing teacher education, residencies,
curriculum development, experiential activities and exposure to professional dance.
Our Philosophy
HSDCs approach to dance education brings students into the world ofdance by
actively engaging them in perception, research, reflection and discussion. Our
process-based curriculum assists students in strengthening basic proficiencies to
develop analytical and abstract thinking, interpretation and problem-solving skills
that are as relevant to studying dance as to analyzing literature or exploring physics.
HSDC is dedicated to furthering dance education, not only through our partnerships
with schools (approximately 90 each year), but also through our work with local,
state and national organizations such as the Chicago Public Schools, the Illinois Arts
Alliance, The Kennedy Center Partners in Education Program and the National
Dance Education Organization.
HSDC strives to continue developing innovative methods ofworking with our
partners to discover new ways ofteaching and incorporating the art and principles
ofdance education into each community.
