CONNetic Dance Company

"Unique with Technique"


About Connetic
CONNetic Dance was formed in 2006 by dancers and choreographers in CT who wanted to challenge themselves as artists while exploring the lengths to which classical ballet can be taken with sensual, dynamic, and intriguing contemporary choreography. The chamber-sized company is compiled of a talented ensemble of professional dancers who are experienced performers and artists. CT Scenic says "CONNetic are a company of ballet hipsters bringing a contemporary edge to classical dance." The company is also committed to dance education and has teamed with West Hartford's Ballet Theatre Academy and their Give Kids a Chance Through Dance Charity.

This season, CONNetic Dance has performed at Dance Festivals in Martha's Vineyard, New York City, and Boston, MA. In CT this season, they have performed at The Wadsworth Atheneum and The Kate in Old Saybrook, and at The Charter Oak Cultural Center as part of the annual Ted Hershey Dance Marathon. They have also been asked to participate in several performances for local charities including performing at the Hartford WE CAN fundraiser for the CT Aids Resource Coalition featuring actress Gloria Reuben and opened for Cirque du Soleil at the Cirque du Cure ball for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at The Hartford Convention Center.
