Cheryl Chaddick, Choreographer/Artistic Director,
Company Chaddick
As Artistic Director of Company Chaddick, which she founded in 1985, Cheryl has been presenting original works in the Bay Area for more than twenty years, performed by a group of dancers that has remained virtually intact since the company’s inception.
Cheryl’s style and technique are strongly influenced by fifteen years practicing Graham, twelve years of Limon, and ten years of classical ballet.
She has danced professionally with Repertory Dance Company of the Southwest, Eugene Ballet, San Francisco Moving Company (currently known as Della Davidson Company) and Zaccho Dance Theater (with which she toured Europe in 1989).
Cheryl has performed in works by Anna Sokolow, Bertram Ross, Jennifer Mueller, Della Davidson, Joanna Haigood, Deborah Slater, Llory Wilson and Rhonda Martin, among others.
Born and raised in Texas, she started dancing early and continued throughout her adolescent years, graduating cum laude with a B.F.A. degree from Southern Methodist University.
Having moved back to Texas (Austin) in 2006, Cheryl will be returning in 2008 to participate in her fourth consecutive summer intensive at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance.
