About the artist:

Aaron McGloin was born and raised in Arizona, and graduated with honors from Arizona State University with a BFA in Dance (Choreography). Over the past few years he has had the privilege of performing with companies such as Dance Arizona Repertory Theater, Scorpius Dance Theatre, Temenos Dance Collective, CONDER/Dance, and AMEBA Acrobatic and Aerial Dance of Chicago. He was the winner of the Arizona Choreography Competition in 2006, was awarded merit scholarships to attend the Bates Dance Festival in both 2006 and 2008, and recently won Dance Magazine's Video of the Month - Critics' Choice Award.

His work has recently been commissioned by groups such as Scottsdale Community College Moving Company, Scottsdale Arizona Jazz Ensemble, Scorpius Dance Theater, CONDER/dance, and AMEBA. He is the artistic director of Aaron McGloin Dance, Arizona's newest and youngest (all in their early 20's) professional dance company. AMD's mission is to bring high-quality dance to people of all ages and incomes in an effort to raise awareness of the arts in AZ. Check them out at www.aaronmcgloindance.com.
