Described as “anything but conventional” by Dance Magazine, Teddy Tedholm is a NYC-based choreographer, educator, and director of tedted Performance Group whose work bridges contemporary technique, theatricality, and site-responsive design.

His dance films—most notably Don’t Miss It—have screened internationally (Dance Camera West, POOL Berlin, CASCADIA, and more), earning Best Dance Film at IndieBOOM! (2018) and Dance Magazine’s Video of the Month (June 2019).
