About

Caleb Teicher is widely regarded as a leading performer, choreographer, director, and curator of musically-driven dance and interdisciplinary collaboration.

After starting their career as a tap dancer with Dorrance Dance, they've since performed as a Soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra and Philadelphia Orchestra, on records for Ben Folds and Regina Spektor, and their collaboration with composer/pianist Conrad Tao (Counterpoint) was the first tap-dance-and-music collaboration featured on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series.

As a stage director, their shows (SW!NG OUT, Bzzz, Caleb Teicher & Company) have been commissioned and presented by countless performing arts venues including The Music Center LA. New York City Center, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, The Joyce Theater, and others. In 2025, Caleb's work will be presented in over 15 U.S. cities.

Caleb continues to engage as an educator and performer in the international Lindy Hop (swing dance) and Vernacular Jazz dance scene. This year, their community-granting initiative, the SW!NG OUT Community Fund, awarded over $60,000 in grants to swing dance community organizations in New York City.

As a curator in 2025, Caleb is the inaugural co-curator of 92Y’s Uptown Rhythm Dance Festival as well as K-Swing Wave @ Lincoln Center/92NY/Korean Cultural Center/Steps on Broadway, a first-of-its-kind cultural diplomacy trip for Korea’s finest swing dancers to visit NYC and demonstrate the global impact of Lindy Hop.
