About Wonderbound
Comprised of 14 dancers from across the country, Wonderbound is committed to the development of original artistic experiences that are artistically rich and highly accessible. Under the direction of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay, the organization develops original creations that rise to the highest levels of artistic excellence, hailed by audiences as equal to work seen on the nation's most renowned stages.
Though Wonderbound is a small nonprofit, pay equity is a top priority. Historically, artists have struggled to obtain fair compensation, and Wonderbound is proud that all its dancers are paid between $1,025-$1,125 per week for a 39-week contract - one of the best contracts nationally. The organization also provides health insurance for all its employees and covers 95% of the cost.

They went on to transform the professional company into Wonderbound and move the organization to Denver in 2013.
Comprised of twelve exemplary dancers from across the country, Wonderbound is committed to the development of original artistic experiences that provide programs for the community that are artistically rich and exceptionally accessible. Under the direction of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay, the organization develops innovative creations that rise to the highest levels of artistic excellence, hailed by audiences as equal to work seen on the nation's most renowned stages.
