Founder/Artistic Director:
Johnny Huntoon, originally from Massachusetts, is a performer, choreographer, and teacher in the Chicagoland area. While residing in New York City, Huntoon performed in pieces choreographed by the acclaimed Cherice Barton, Gregg Russell, and AC Ciulla. Since the move to Chicago, he had the honor of being a performing apprentice with Chicago Tap Theatre, under the artistic direction of Mark Yonally. Receiving his B.A. in Dance, with a minor in Business and Entrepreneurship at Columbia College Chicago, Huntoon has had the privilege to study under renowned Chicago and nationally recognized instructors, Natalie Rast, Carrie Hanson, Margi Cole, Paige Cunningham, Lisa Gonzales, Raquel Monroe, and many more. Recently, he established a contemporary dance company, Alluvion Dance Chicago, presenting choreography at Joel Hall Dancers & Center, Chicago Roundup Theatre, Stage 773, Hamlin Park Theatre, the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University, and Columbia College Chicago. Huntoon's choreography has been accepted and presented works at Dancing on the Ceiling and other Moments of Connection Summer Festival, D49/Dance for $9.99, Open House for Columbia College Chicago (set on Columbia students and Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre), and Alluvion Dance Chicago's choreography showcase, Emergence. He is confident that Alluvion Dance Chicago will lead Chicago in creating a connection between up and coming dancers and choreographers, to the professional world, through allowing under produced artists works to be viewed in a fully produced show.
