Forum Dance Theatre 2024-2025
Forum Dance Theatre is beginning its 27th season and continues to push the bar of excellence in the non-competitive contemporary youth dance arena. Revered as one of the top youth dance companies in the Midwest, Forum Dance Theatre provides excellence in dance training and education.
Our Mission
To serve as a catalyst for young, aspiring artists to envision, expand, and collaborate on dance works which challenge the artistic depth and creativity involved in contemporary dance. Artists and collaborators achieve this through intense physical training and creative exploration of new vocabularies while maintaining traditional classical technique.
Artistic Director Catie Deitz-Griffith, Forum 2 Director Lindsey Beebe, Forum Training Director Sinead Gildea, and Ballet Master Julianne Deitz bring their many talents as instructors and choreographers to Forum's pre-professional dance company members.
