Bruce Wood Dance Company was established in June of 1996 as a 501(c)(3) organization. The Company was formed as a showcase for the acclaimed choreography of Bruce Wood, the Company's Artistic Director. Mr. Wood studied at the School of American Ballet under the tutelage of the legendary George Balanchine. After a brief engagement with the New York City Ballet, Mr. Wood refined his Balanchine training by dancing three years as a soloist with the San Francisco Ballet. At the age of 21, Mr. Wood joined Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal as a principal dancer, and for the next four years he performed and taught all over the world.
In 1997, Bruce Wood Dance Company migrated to Fort Worth and presented its first complete season in one of the country’s finest venues, Bass Performance Hall. Now in the midst of its eighth season, BWDC continues to stage works at Bass Performance Hall featuring an ever-growing repertoire. Mr. Wood has become a prolific choreographer, creating over 50 ballets for BWDC as well as for other dance companies, including Orlando Ballet, Texas Ballet Theater, and Dallas Black Dance Theatre. BWDC has continued to capture the imaginations of audiences of all ages and artistic tastes. As a result, the Company has been chosen to be on the Texas Commission on the Arts Texas Touring Roster since June of 2000, and since 2002 has enjoyed national touring recognition.
