We are thrilled to invite you to See Chicago Dance’s 2023 Awards Presentation & Community Celebration. On Tuesday, September 19, 2023, we will gather with 250 dance friends and artists to celebrate our dynamic community and honor two people who have made a sustained, outsized impact on all of us!
This year we are pleased to present the See Chicago Dance Legacy Award* to Homer Hans Bryant, founder and artistic director of Chicago Multicultural Dance Center & Hiplet Ballerinas. We are equally excited to honor Ginger Farley, dancer, teacher, dancemaker, and former executive director of Chicago Dancemakers Forum, with this year’s Distinguished Service to the Dance Field Award.
