Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) has moved its studio to a 13,000-square-foot space on the fourth floor of Water Tower Place, 835 N. Michigan Ave.
The new facility will include a dance studio, artist lounge, office area, production storage, dressing rooms and a physical therapy area. Visitors to Water Tower Place will be able to get a partial view of rehearsals in progress as they stroll the mall.
This will be the new rehearsal location for the HSDC company dancers, as well as host showings, some of the programs for Summer Intensive 2022, choreographer workshops, master classes and more.
Company dancers were welcomed to the new facility on Jan. 3. Hubbard Street Dance Chicago will first use the new space to rehearse Spring Series: RE/CONNECT, which will be performed at the MCA on March 2-13. Details and ticket information about RE/CONNECT will be announced shortly.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago expressed its gratitude to the Pritzker Foundation, whose support is making the build-out of the new studio and office at Water Tower Place possible. |
