River North Dance Chicago Company (RNDCC) is one of Chicago’s leading dance companies specializing in preserving jazz-based contemporary dance. Founded in 1989 by four visionary dancers/choreographers, the company has received critical acclaim nationally and internationally.

“From high drama to low comedy, from torch songs to lyrical love duets, and from abstract modernism to jazzy ballroom style, River North is a contemporary company that can do it all, with technical splendor to boot,” says a Chicago Sun-Times review.

The Chicago-based company produces, promotes and presents dance; makes vital connections between dancers and audiences; creates partnerships and collaborations; assists in the professional development of dancers, choreographers and dance professionals; participates in cultural programming; and advocates dance and dance education.
