About BHumn Dance Co.
Founded by Cheryl Copeland, BHumn Dance is a contemporary modern company that portrays dancers as human beings rather than technical machines. The dancers display a range of emotion all stemming from human experiences and authentic feeling. They know how to merge their raw openness with their mastery in all forms of dance technique. The movement is stunningly pedestrian and touchingly relevant, even to those who cannot relate to professional dance.
