Odyssey's Spring Repertory Season is a dance lover's buffet, with something for everyone. Deseret News said, "Odyssey Dance Theatre's Shut Up and Dance season only proves that it is a company to be taken seriously. Bravo!"

Shut Up and Dance is where the dancers and choreographers get to stretch their artistic muscle and really show off their abilities and different styles in smaller repertoire-style works. Derryl said, "We again stress accessibility but we are not afraid to explore more innovative choreographic styles movement. The title says it all. Dance is an amazing form of expression that doesn't require manuals and textbooks to understand. It communicates to all and across all boundaries."

Also back by popular demand, this full-length work, directed and produced by Derryl, tells the story of Chicago in the 1920s, when the specter of Prohibition gave rise to speakeasies, jazz and gangsters. Chicago Nights is a unique show with an intoxicating variety of dance styles, techniques, passions and emotions. A collection of works by some of the most cutting-edge choreographers of the day, from ballet to contemporary, jazz to tap, ballroom to hip-hop, this group of dancers will display not only their technical expertise and versatility, and will share these stories of 1920s Chicago through the tapestry of dance styles that Odyssey is known for.
