Caleb Teicher is a New York City-based dancer and choreographer specializing in musically driven dance traditions and interdisciplinary collaboration. Teicher began their career as a founding member of Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed tap dance company, Dorrance Dance, while also freelancing in contemporary dance (The Chase Brock Experience, The Bang Group), Lindy Hop (Syncopated City Dance Company), and musical theater (West Side Story international tour and London). As a solo performer and collaborator, Teicher is known for choreographic collaborations with diverse musical talents including world-champion beatboxer Chris Celiz, composer/pianist Conrad Tao, the National Symphony Orchestra, and indie rock legends Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. In 2015, Teicher shifted their creative focus towards Caleb Teicher & Company (CT&Co), a creative home for incubating new concert-dance works that spring from Teicher’s unique perspective. CT&Co’s engagements and commissions expand across the US and abroad, including at the Joyce Theater, New York City Center, Guggenheim Museum (NYC and Bilbao), Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, and Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Teicher is the recipient of a 2019 New York City Center Choreographic Fellowship, two “Bessie” Awards, a 2019 Harkness Promise Award, the 2020 Gross Family Prize, and a 2019 NEFA National Dance Project Production Grant. Their work has been featured by the New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Vogue, Interview Magazine, on the cover of Dance Magazine, and, most recently, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Regina Spektor. Teicher continues to engage with dance communities as a teacher for international tap, swing, and jazz dance festivals.
