Meet Our Guest Choreographer: Dominique Atwood
Dominique Atwood is from Dayton, Ohio where she began her training at Jeraldyne's School of Dance and Stivers School for the Performing Arts. Later she graduated magna cum laude from Howard University, with a B.A in Political Science/Pre-law. While at Howard, she co-founded the first Contemporary Dance Company on campus, I.AM.WE.
Since then, she has toured and performed with a number of renowned companies and major artists. She’s been featured in commercials, films and music videos. Her choreographic credits include but aren’t limited to the Miss Intercontinental Pageant, Cirque Du Soleil, Outcry the Play, Youth American Grand Prix (1st place contemporary ballet) and for a number of universities.
In 2016 she was invited to participate as one of the region's leading dance leaders by First Lady Michelle Obama during her Celebration of Black Women in Dance. In 2017 her work was commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. In 2018 she was nominated by Deeply Rooted for the Princess Grace Award.
Ms. Atwood continues to share her gifts and talents through what she calls her “Passion Platforms”. She is currently the Development Director of Deeply Rooted Dance Theater, Board Chair of Young Ladies Aspiring Greatness and Founder of Arts and Activism. She’s thankful to connect and deepen her work with like-missioned companies like Noumenon.

Sway Dance Chicago has been bringing learners of all levels to the dance floor since it was first established by Teresa Swanson in 2010. People of all ages, backgrounds, and dance histories have made Sway their go-to for achieving whatever their dance goals may be. At Sway Dance, we pride ourselves in providing casual but quality instruction to keep our sessions relaxed, fun, and productive! Sway will help you bring the love of movement into your life in whatever way works best for you and your learning style. If you want to meet and dance with new people in a laid back environment, Sway offers group classes. If you want the individualized attention of one-on-one instruction, Sway offers private lessons where you can choose both your schedule and what you'd like to learn.Every student at Sway Dance has a different goal in mind when they walk through the front door. Some are preparing for their wedding dance, some for an island vacation, some are getting ready to hit the stage, some just want to turn one of their left feet into a right foot. Whatever your goal may be, Sway instructors are ready to design a plan just for you.
Sway also offers event space rentals!
