Contemporary West Dance Theatre is embarking on a new chapter by relocating from Las Vegas to Philadelphia after 18 years. This move marks an exciting transition as they prepare to establish their presence in the City of Brotherly Love starting June 5, 2025.
Contemporary West Dance Theatre (CWDT), formerly known as the Las Vegas Contemporary Dance Theater, is a multicultural nonprofit organization that was founded in March 2007 by Bernard H. Gaddis and Charmaine Hunter. CWDT is Las Vegas’ premiere contemporary modern dance company, named by the Las Vegas Review-Journal as one of the “Fab Four” arts organizations in Nevada. The company has a dance methodology that integrates classical and modern paradigms with athleticism that gives audiences a more profound dance experience.
