Thodos Dance Chicago celebrates 16 years of dance creation with its annual New Dances choreography project and performances. Be part of an amazing evening of new dance discovery when TDC's Ensemble Members and Guest Choreographer, Shannon Alvis, present their World Premiere works.


Originally from Greenwood, Indiana, Shannon received her training at Butler University and the University of Utah. She danced and performed professionally with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago for nine years, then went on to further her growth and career at Nederlands Dans Theater under the direction of Jim Vincent and Paul Lightfoot. During her time in Chicago and Europe, Shannon toured internationally dancing works by many world renowned choreographers such as: Jiri Kylian, Nacho Duato, William Forsythe, Ohad Naharin, Twyla Tharp, Daniel Ezralow, Jorma Elo, and Johan Inger.

Having since returned to Chicago, and after having given birth to a baby girl, Shannon is once again sharing her artistry with the community. She has appeared in several productions at the Lyric Opera, is on faculty at the Joffrey Academy, and is now beginning to focus her creativity into the development of her choreographic voice.
