The LANGUAGE of Art

The 2025.2026 STLDT Trainee Program is proud to present The Language of Art Season. This season, we strive to amplify artistic voices through original repertoire created by an esteemed roster of local and national choreographers. Dance is a universal language and each performance will celebrate the vibrancy of our community connections, artistic values, commitment to continued education, and multidisciplinary collaborations.

We are excited to introduce guest choreographers Brandon Hudson, Adam Parson, Ashley Tate, and Carly Vanderheyden as well as works by Saint Louis Dance Theatre Artistic Director Kirven Douthit-Boyd and Director of Education Brandon Fink. We will also feature 6 new works created by current STLDT Trainees.
