Atalee Judy can be seen teaching her codified style of extreme dance, The Bodyslam Technique, and has established herself as one of Chicago's premiere performers and visionaries. Atalee started Breakbone in 1996 after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College Chicago in Choreography & Dance Performance (with Honors in Outstanding Achievement) and wanted a company to house her extreme emotional and athletic nature while exploring and exploiting her background in the 1980's punk hardcore scene of New York City and her experiences in the martial arts.

Tabitha Faes completed her studies in 2004 and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance from Columbia College Chicago. She is a founding member of Breakbone DanceCo. and was a featured soloist on the company’s 2006 tour to Canada. Courtesy of the Peace Corps, Tabitha traveled to Paraguay to teach dance workshops for building stronger community ties. She has also taught workshops at University of Hawaii.
