Hubbard Street 2 (HS2), is a company of seven dancers between the ages of 17 and 25 who perform a repertoire of works by some of the nation's most promising young choreographers. HS2 reaches more than 35,000 people annually through performances in schools, community centers and theaters. Since its inception in 1997, the company has become a respected training ground for young, professional dancers and choreographers; a major component of HSDC's Education & Community Programs; a resource for new dancers for HSDC's main company; and a company performing a diverse and engaging repertory nationally and internationally. As a part of the Hubbard Street 2 mission to identify and nurture young choreographers, HS2 initiated a National Choreographic Competition in the summer of 1999. Every summer, the competition provides three winners each with a one-week residency to create an original work on the company. Click here for more information. HS2's National Choreographic Competition is made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Hubbard Street 2 is an integral component of HSDC's Education & Community Programs, which, through multi-layered activities, exposes students to dance, works with teachers to integrate dance and movement into the curriculum and partners with other Chicago arts organizations on interdisciplinary collaborations.
