Founded in 1994 and directed by Derryl Yeager, former Ballet West Principal, Broadway, Television, and Film veteran, Odyssey Dance Theatre explodes with world-class bravado, passionate charm, and choreographic invention, combining the classical virtues of ballet with the attack of jazz; the freedom of modern dance; the raw energy of hip-hop; the syncopated rhythms of tap; the fluid partnering of ballroom; and the spirit of Broadway and Vaudeville to create a fresh dance vocabulary and entertainment genre that engages audiences across the country and around the world. Odyssey Dance Theatre has carved a unique niche in the local, national and international dancescape and has, in fact, created a whole, new market for dance.

The company has been selected Best of State in Dance for six years in a row; Best Choreographer 2009 Derryl Yeager; Best Individual Dancer Associate Artistic Director/Principal Dancer Eldon Johnson; and Best Youth Dance Group 2011 Junior Company Odyssey 2, and for the last three years, Odyssey dancers have made it to the Top 20 on the Fox Hit TV Show, “So You Think You Can Dance.”
