The Leopold Group, a Chicago-based modern dance company, was founded in March 2005 by Illinois native Lizzie Leopold. Growing up dancing and choreographing in Chicago's northern suburbs, Leopold left home in August 2002 to earn her BFA in dance from the University of Michigan. When she returned in 2005, she brought with her the Leopold Group. Since it's inception, the Leopold Group has been named Best of 2012 by TimeOut Chicago, enjoyed residencies at the Chicago Cultural Center and the Workspace for Choreographers Artist Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Leopold Group has produced dozens of new works and worked in collaboration with Winifred Haun & Dancers, The Space Movement Project, Bread & Roses Productions, and so many more!
The mission of the Leopold Group is to create, promote, and produce modern dance performances that are available to the masses; to offer dance as an accessible, interesting and intellectual form of communication.
