We are thrilled to have the opportunity to present great choreography from all of these strong companies. Chop Shop is about offering thoughtful, well crafted and meaningful work by choreographers who are focused and concerned with the relationship between dancer and viewer. And that is why our festival is so important to this dance community (and why we sell out our shows!) But more on the Chop Shop philosophy later....

Well, here we go again! The line up for this years Chop Shop: Bodies of Work Contemporary Dance Festival (Feb 13 &14, 2010 at Meydenbauer Theater) is almost finalized. We have amazing events planned for Jan and Feb of 2010. Our FREE classes in the fine city of Bellevue are not to be missed! Last year's master classes (offered by Wade Madsen, Mark Haim, Julie Tobiason, and Cyrus Khambatta) were wonderful, and we will offer more this year as well. Keep checking in as the "cast list" will be up soon! In the meantime, check out our Promo (made by the brilliant Gabriel Bienczycki of Zebravisual) and prepare to be amazed!
