Mark your calendars! Hubbard Street Dance Chicago is hosting our annual fundraising gala, Spotlight Ball 47, on Thursday, May 15, 2025.
Join us as we celebrate the legendary artistry and dynamism of our dancers and choreographers. Guests will enjoy a special, one-night-only performance showcasing work by Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon and Hubbard Street Resident Artist Aszure Barton, followed by a joyous rooftop dance party and dinner.
