If the first teases of spring haven't gotten you longing for the summer's heat, the sexy, jazz-based choreography of internationally acclaimed River North Dance Chicago will. On the scene since1989, the company is beloved for its bold, emotive, theatrical dance, and has been the subject of three Emmy-winning documentaries on the company and the individual stories of its dancers.
