About South Chicago Dance Theatre

South Chicago Dance Theatre (SCDT) is a multicultural organization seamlessly fusing classical and contemporary dance styles as well as preserving historic dance work. With Choreographic Diplomacy™ at the heart of the organization, SCDT creates, performs, and teaches dance on a local, national, and international platform.
South Chicago Dance Theatre is firmly rooted on Chicago’s south side and in its first seven seasons has developed a global presence as a renowned dance company with repertory spanning a breadth of contemporary and historic choreographers. Led by Founder, Resident Choreographer and Director of Vision and Strategy, Kia S. Smith, SCDT has been lauded “the next big thing to hit Chicago’s dance scene” by the Chicago Tribune and Smith was named one of Dance Magazine’s 25 to Watch for 2024.
Prioritizing intergenerational learning and exchange, SCDT’s seven core programs utilize the art of dance to reframe trauma narratives through creative storytelling and replace dominant cultural narratives with community narratives. These creative initiatives include the Main Company, Associate Artist Program, Emerging Artist Program, Education and Community Programs, South Chicago Dance Festival, Choreographic Diplomacy™ program, and Teen Workforce Development program. The art of dance empowers SCDT's community to resist oppression and foster collective healing.
