In its commitment to bringing an original and contemporary vision to the public and to building appreciation for the performing arts, RTG Dance is dedicated to high standards of innovation in dancing and dance-making.It is our goal to convey through movement, text, and multi-media elements, a world-on-stage that is not dissimilar to everyday life, but which addresses aspects of fantasy, imagination, and memory within the context of the contemporary culture.

RTG Dance NFP creates and performs dance work and performance events to educate and share with the public (both individuals and other organizations) rich and innovative aesthetic and emotional experiences. RTG Dance has educated the visual and performance art community in Chicago by presenting work in public performance venues such as Links Hall.
