The Helsinki City Theater Dance Company, HCTDC, is a group of 10 dancers who form the biggest contemporary dance company in the country. The beginning of HCTDC had two phases: in 1967 the City Theater facilitated a dancer training program, mostly to meet the needs of musicals, without committing itself to start a dance company. After years of persuasion, in 1973, six dancers and a director, Seija Simonen, were engaged on a permanent basis, which meant ensuring a future of employment for dance professionals within the establishment. HCTDC has performed on all the Helsinki City Theater stages, and toured around Finland and abroad. The performances at the Helsinki City Theater are mostly held at Eläintarhantie 5 in Hakaniemi, across Eläintarha bay. Access is easy on trams, underground and buses from the central train station in the Helsinki city center.
