Established in 1994 by Founding Director Rodney Gustafson, the company is a pioneering collaborative that employs dancers from around the world, consistently striving for new and innovative artistic opportunities that serve a broad audience. Each season is dedicated to bringing the highest standards of artistry and originality to tried and true classical favorites, plus new works that reflect the contemporary nature and talent of the ensemble’s 20 dancers, under the artistic direction of Megan Philipp.
