Swain, is known locally for his athletic style and eclectic works, and has been professionally choreographing, performing and teaching for ten years. Swain is in the process of establishing his own non-profit, Danny Swain Dance Company, which will allow him greater artistic autonomy in producing cutting edge modern dance. Goals for the company include creating and debuting more new work in bigger performance venues, as well as a variety of community outreach initiatives. "Gaining non-profit status will bring innovative modern dance to a broader audience. We will have access to much greater funding opportunities; and, as a result, will be able to share our work more frequently and in more places than ever before," said Swain.

Swain's first big concert on April 4 and 5 at Green Street Studios will debut new work, as well as present a retrospective of dance he created over the past decade. Included is a reworking his 1997 piece, 3,000 Miles to Blue. In it, Swain includes a powerful male duet followed by an explosive onslaught of ten lithe female performers. For this piece, he has collaborated with local musician/composer Jane Wang to create an original score that she will perform live.
