Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, one of the world's premier contemporary dance organizations, together with Honorary Chairs Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule, and Event Chair Patti Selander Eylar, held its Season 37 Spotlight Ball on Monday, June 1 at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park.

This is a contemporary ballet company in the style of European contemporary companies. Under the artistic direction of Glenn Edgerton -- a former beloved dancer with the Joffrey Ballet for 11 years and then with the acclaimed Nederlands Dance Theater for five years, after which he became Artistic Director, leading NDT I for a decade -- this company shines. What a pleasure it is to see this level of energy and movement quality in a contemporary company, as I did on opening night, Tuesday May 12th, at the Joyce Theater.
