"Flexibility is required not only in the change of direction, but also in how ideas are conceived, where those ideas come from, and the expertise brought in to solve problems. Range of motion is necessary to know when one should step out of a space — and also when to forge ahead."
Concepts learned and explored in a dance studio can be applied to a broad spectrum of environments, including the one in which many of us find ourselves today. 5.6.7.8, give this article a read! #TimeToInnovate

DanceWorks Chicago is dedicated to creating a safe space for artists and audiences, now more so than ever. In alignment with the extension of the State of Illinois’ Shelter in Place directive, Team DWC has pushed “pause” on our menu of offerings (including DayLabs and Open Company Audition) through May 3.
These are trying times…time to try something new! The New Dances 2020 Dancer Audition has gone virtual! Chicago movers and makers are putting even more NEW in New Dances, our partnership with Thodos Dance Chicago.
Team DWC is taking a, wait for it, 360 degree look at our Dance360 programming scheduled to start mid-July. Program Director Sara Bibik is hard at work!
The postponement of the Open Company Audition is a “no, not now” as versus a “no, not ever”, so, dancers, keep your heads up, your resumes polished, and be ready to dance your values when a new date is announced! Your patience is appreciated.
In the meantime, let’s work together (#PhysicalDistanceSocialConnection) to be the best version of ourselves so we come out on the other side of all of this stronger and more connected.
DanceWorks Chicago is always moving. It’s our tag line and our hope.
