Chicago Dance Lovers,
We are thrilled to invite you to See Chicago Dance’s 2022 Community Celebration and Awards Presentation.
On Tuesday, October 11th, we will gather with 250 dance friends and artists to celebrate our dynamic community and honor two very special people, as we do every year.
This year we are pleased to present the See Chicago Dance Legacy Award to Joan Gray, long-time executive director of Muntu Dance Theatre and a leader and mentor in our community for decades. We are equally excited to honor Ginger Lane with this year’s Distinguished Service to the Dance Field Award in recognition of her groundbreaking artistry and advocacy, establishing Chicago as a city at the forefront of dance and disability. Click here to read more about the honorees.
After two years of online and hybrid celebrations, we will return this year to our familiar format: a cocktail reception, seated dinner with awards presentation and, of course, performances. We are lucky that Ginger has a new piece to present, fresh off its premiere at the CounterBalance Festival in September. And we’ll close the evening with a rich, energizing performance by Muntu Dance Theatre, who have much to celebrate in 2022 as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Please join us for what is sure to be one of the most fun, most uplifting events of the year.
