Every April since 1989, the Fort Wayne Dance Collective has brought a guest artist to Fort Wayne. This year, we are proud and thrilled to present RUBBERBANDance Group from Montréal, Canada. They will be performing the piece, Gravity of Center. After years of exploring dance and theatre from urban, classical and contemporary angles, Victor Quijada, Artistic Director/Choreographer, formed Rubberbandance Group in 2002. Presenting choreographic works that examine human relationships, this extraordinary collection of world-class dancers articulates the perfect marriage between explosive hip-hop physicality and the subtle profoundness of contemporary story telling. A combination of the narrative, the spectacular, and freedom of break dancing with the abstraction, nuances, and technique of contemporary dance results in a true hybrid of dance forms. Anne Plamondon joined the group in 2002 as a dancer and contributed highly to the growth and development of the company.  She has been co-artistic director of RBDG since September 2005.

This breath-taking fusion of contemporary ballet and break dancing is sure to excite and amaze. Please save the date April 14, 2012 for this performance at the Arts United Center.
