“La Jupe” (the skirt), choreographed by Jenny Backhaus () in 2003, is a piece exploring how a once beautiful part of your life can begin to weigh you down and eventually restrict movement. The struggle to release oneself from these bonds can be difficult, but accepting help from friends is a way to eventually achieve liberation.

COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> #SummerDance went virtual this year. Our 2-day workshop with professional educators from around the country was a nourishing experience. Designed to address the specific needs of dance educators, the online event provided a space for teachers to learn new teaching methods for various ages and levels, network with other professionals, and nourish creative approaches to pedagogical practices.
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> Nothing can keep us from dancing! We may not have been able to dance together in the same space, but nonetheless the dancing continued via Zoom. This online platform enabled us to connect with dancers from all over the world!
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> In-studio rehearsals and live performances came to a screeching halt in mid-March ... but the dancing didn't stop there! In response to quarantine, we launched BD Online / Move With Us. This online platform offers a variety of classes designed for movers of all ages. With the availability of both live and recorded lessons, we invite you to move with us from wherever you are. Check it out: www.backhausdance.org/bd-online
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> Lockdown, unfortunately, interrupted our creative process with International, British-Israeli sensation Rachel Erdos. Nonetheless, a handful of guests were able to take a peek inside our last open rehearsal. We look forward to revisiting Rachel Erdos' Q&A [The 36 Questions] someday soon.
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> What a celebration! We spent leap day dancing the night away at our February Fête! We are eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to gather, be merry, and celebrate with our BD family.
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> Backhausdance was honored to be named a “Top Employer” of Chapman University talent.

We are proud to be a “Think Chapman First” champion.
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> Backhausdance returned to OCMA with an immersive performance of original dance creations by artistic director and company founder Jennifer Backhaus. A series of three kinetic responses to OCMA's exhibitions, Triptych was a collaborative movement composition designed for audiences to experience at their own pace.
Happy National Dance Day from Backhausdance!
In celebration of this favorite day, Artistic Director Jennifer Backhaus invites you to learn, create and share your unique version of the A-B-C's of Backhausdance. Tag us and use #ABCsofBD #NationalDanceDay
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> One highlight of every season is our #SummerDance scholarship audition tour. We love catching up with dancers all over Southern California. Backhausdance is dedicated to making our summer program accessible to the dance community and provides scholarships for nearly half of the more than 100 participants.
COUNTDOWN TO #BDSEASON18 >>> While the 19/20 live performance season may have been cut short, Backhausdance at McCallum was a memorable night. On the night of January 16, three diverse pieces were brought to the stage to create a night that highlighted the extraordinary range of the company and its repertory. The dancers, in the face of three demanding and full-bodied works, performed beautifully all night, superbly demonstrating their monumental physical and mental capability.
