Hailed as Dallas’ ‘shining star’ by Arts and Culture Texas, nationally acclaimed Bruce Wood Dance is a contemporary dance company that harnesses the power of dance to entertain, enrich, and heal. BWD is built on the prolific artistry of acclaimed Texas choreographer Bruce Wood (1960-2014). Artistic Director/Resident Choreographer Joy Bollinger, named one of the 78 Women Who Make Dallas Great by D Magazine, leads the company.

Touring activities provide a variety of inspiring programs including movement classes, lecture demonstrations, Q&As, films, repertory workshops, and performances for audiences of any size and age. On TCA’s Texas Touring Roster since 2016, BWD has performed across Texas and the country at Jacob’s Pillow, Palm Desert Choreography Festival, and in NYC at the Joyce Theater, Battery Dance Festival, and Guggenheim Museum in Lar Lubovitch at 80: Art of the Duet.
