The Company

The Company is a project based company ran by Isaac Knuteson. Select dancers from California, Texas, Ohio & Wisconsin, are selected to perform pieces choreographed by Isaac all around at Festivals, competitions & showcases. These dancers will have the opportunity, to perform all around Wisconsin, Chicago, Ohio, Alabama, NYC, Orlando, Texas, Richmond & more. The Company is a diverse group of dancers ranging from all ages. Isaac wanted to create this opportunity to give professional dancers the chance to grow/build there performance resume & to give pre-professional students the opportunity, to experience the professional world & to start up there career. The company is split up into two groups. The main company which is dancers who are over the age of 18 & training/dancing professional in the industry. The dancers are granted the opportunity to travel all over to perform choreographed works by Isaac. The other group is the apprentices, which is dancers under the age of 18, & still in training. These dancers are often given opportunities closer to where they are located, to help give them more exposure to the industry.
