Vitek Wincza graduated as a professional dancer from the State Ballet School in Gdansk, Poland. He has performed for the Musical Theatre of Gdynia, Poland; The Grand Opera; the Ballet Theatre of Lodz, Poland; and the National Dance Company “Mazowsze” where he toured throughout North America. After several successful performances in Hamilton Place, he decided to stay permanently in Canada. In 1982, after his defection, he ran and operated his own dance school in Burlington and Hamilton area.

In 2001, he founded the HCA Dance Theatre, a non-profit organization which is dedicated to professional artists and the creation of new innovative works in dance, music, drama, and visual arts. Performances include Robert Desrosiers’ original choreographed “Circus Dream”, as well as “An Evening with Michael Ondaatje” featuring the work of Oscar-nominated Canadian writer Michael Ondaatje (“The English Patient”). Wincza’s realization of Ondaatje’s prose was interpreted by dancers and musicians in a truly unique and unforgettable multi-disciplinary performance.
