Thodos Dance Chicago's annual New Dances project has fueled the evolution of Contemporary Dance in America for over a decade.  This innovative project has enabled more than fifty Chicago-based choreographers to advance their skills, create new work, and have it presented in a professional concert setting.

"Our New Dances choreography project embodies the dance creation component of the Company's mission, enabling talented dance artists to express their own choreographic visions." – Founder and Artistic Director, Melissa Thodos
