About the Artistic Director

Inlet’s unique ability to share dance with people of all ages and backgrounds comes from its founder, Bill Wade.  Formerly, Wade worked as an artist in residence for the Cleveland School of the Arts (CSA) where he founded the nationally-recognized and awarded after school program YARD – Youth At Risk Dancing.  He received the Standing Up Taller Award at the White House by the National Endowment for the Arts and the President’s Committee for the Arts and Humanities.  Prior his eleven year CSA residency, Wade served as an Artistic Director and dancer with Footpath Dance Company.  Wade’s work also includes collaborations with STOMP, Major League Baseball, Sea World of Ohio and the 1992 Winter Olympic Games and has been recognized both regionally and nationally on television, radio, magazines and newspapers.

 


Overview

Inlet Dance Theatre is one of the region’s most exciting professional contemporary dance companies dedicated to performing with a high level of quality, skill, innovation and purpose.  Inlet utilizes the art form of dance to bring about personal development in the lives of individuals through training and mentoring, and to speak creatively about life and the issues we all face. 




Inlet Dance Theatre was formed in 2001 by Founder & Artistic Director Bill Wade as an extension of his longstanding belief that dance viewing, training and performing experiences can be used successfully as tools to bring about personal growth and development.  Over the years, Inlet’s company members, supplemental dancers, interns and guest artists have built the company’s solid reputation for uplifting individuals and engaging new audiences through public performance, educational programming and community outreach. 

In contrast to an industry where people are often used to further dance, Inlet Dance Theatre is committed to using dance to further people.  Discover for yourself what makes Inlet unique.
