Have you ever sat in the audience of an Eisenhower Dance Ensemble production and wondered how it all comes together?
Artistic Director Laurie Eisenhower creates much of the inspiring choreography- Works not created by Eisenhower have been set upon the Company by visiting choreographers with national and international reputations
- Our impressive professional dancers come from across the country
- Guests such as The Contours and Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings have shared world-class, mixed-media performances with our dancers
- Striking costumes are meticulously designed for each dance
- Then there are the technical and logistical details: the lighting, the sets, the production team. And the list goes on and on.

Bring Dance to Life!
Become a patron of new choreography
EDE invites you to help bring a new dance into the world. When we reach a goal of $3,000 or more, EDE will invite a nationally renowned choreographer to set a new work on the Company. At the premiere of the new dance, you will be listed in the program as a patron of the commission and invited to a post-performance reception with the dancers.
The more gifts (and the larger the gifts) we receive, the sooner a new dance will come to life. Your generous donation will keep dance alive.
