Short Summary

Eisenhower Dance will make our European debut at the Ladek Zdroj International Dance Festival in Poland July 6-13, 2014!  The dancers and artistic directors have been invited to the 2014 International Dance Festival to perform for the public and teach master classes for participating international students.The Festival opens with a Gala performance by Eisenhower Dance and each evening there is a showcase performance featuring a participating dance company or school.

We are thrilled to be one of two International troupes invited to perform and are honored to represent the United States!  

Eisenhower Dance is Detroit's premier contemporary dance company.  Consisting of eight dancers from across the United States, these amazing dancers will have the opportunity to share their talents in a cultural exchange with international artists. 

Considered by many critics to be one of the finest contemporary dance companies in the nation, Eisenhower Dance has received overwhelming critical acclaim along with enthusiastic audience support: 

“stunning” (Holland Sentinel)

“intelligently crafted repertoire” (Dance Magazine)

"dance that touches the soul” (Detroit Free Press)

“a hearty, no-nonsense way of moving (The New York Times)

“a hand-clapping delight" (Chicago Tribune)

Please make our European debut a reality! The performances will introduce our company to an international audience and provide a priceless experience for our dancers.  Representing Detroit is important to us and we want to show the world that good things are happening in the D! 

HELP US PUT DETROIT DANCE ON THE MAP!

There will be two performances that are open to the public.  We will be performing several works from our repertoire:

Begin with the End in Mind, by Ron de Jesus

Better Places, by Laurie Eisenhower

No Angels in my Kamikaze Heaven, by Michael Foley

Open Veins, by Laurie Eisenhower

Nothing Left, by Lauren Edson
