About US
Our Story
Inlet Dance Theatre, founded in 2001 by Founder and Executive/Artistic Director Bill Wade, is one of the region’s most exciting professional contemporary dance companies with roots in American Modern Dance. Inlet embodies his longstanding belief that dance viewing, training, and performing experiences may serve as tools to bring about personal growth and development. During our 23-year history, we have transformed from a small dance company with local impact into a celebrated organization that impacts people on an international level.

BUILDING TRANSFORMATION: THE CAMPAIGN FOR INLET DANCE THEATRE
For two decades, Inlet Dance Theatre has touched and inspired people of all ages and backgrounds through its numerous education programs and its local, national and international performances. Throughout this growth, Inlet had yet to have a home to call its own. Today, Inlet is creating its own permanent studio, classroom, offices, and performance space in Cleveland’s new Pivot Center in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood.
