Whirlwind Dance Company

Professional Company

Whirlwind Dance Company is a professional contemporary dance company made up of 12 artists dedicated to performance, creation, collaboration, and the continued development of their artistry.

Rooted in contemporary, jazz, and ballet-based movement, the company provides dancers with a professional environment designed to support technical growth, artistic individuality, choreographic exploration, and meaningful performance experiences.

Each season, Whirlwind brings together dancers who are curious, open-minded, community-driven, and passionate about contributing to the future of dance. The company values artists who are not only strong movers, but thoughtful collaborators — dancers who are eager to train, create, perform, and continue researching what movement can become.

About the Company

The Professional Company serves as the main performance and creative branch of Whirlwind Dance Company.

Company artists train, rehearse, and perform throughout the season while engaging in a process rooted in creativity, discipline, collaboration, and artistic exploration. The company is designed for dancers who are seeking a professional space to deepen their technique, expand their artistic voice, and contribute to the development of new work.

Whirlwind strives to foster a positive, growth-centered environment where dancers are encouraged to bring their individuality into the room, take creative risks, and engage fully in the rehearsal process.
