Since its inception in 1997, the Hubbard Street 2 company has become a respected training ground for young professional dancers and choreographers, a major component of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago?s Education and Community Programs, a resource for new dancers in the HSDC main company, and a performance company in its own right. Julie Nakagawa B?ttcher is Artistic Director.
As part of its mission to identify and nurture young choreographers, HS2 initiated a National Choreographic Competition in 1999. Every summer, three winning choreographers work with the company for one week each, to create a new dance for the company. It is these new dances that will be performed in Conway. Featured dancers are William Cannon, Kellie Epperheimer, Laura Halm, Todd McQuade, Luis Oscar Ramos and Jessica Tong.
