Dallas/Ft Worth

Bruce Wood Dance Dallas is approaching its sweet sixteen with a season that blurs boundaries between genres, generations, and creative disciplines.

Katie Puder isn’t one to do things halfway. For Avant Chamber Ballet’s 13th season, the founding artistic director is nearly doubling the company’s repertoire, launching a new subscription series for families, premiering two original ballets, and restaging a landmark production by mentor and longtime collaborator Paul Mejia.

For TITAS/Dance Unbound’s 2025-26 season, the math is undeniably impressive: 10 companies from five different countries, among them two debuts (one U.S. and one Texas) and two world premieres.
