Mission

The mission of Eisenhower Dance is “to be a professional repertory company that, through outstanding performances and educational services, strives to deepen the understanding and appreciation of contemporary dance regionally, nationally, and internationally.

What We Do

Eisenhower Dance has spent the last 25 years giving life to the repertoire of internationally known choreographers, as well as the highly acclaimed work of Artistic Director Laurie Eisenhower. Established in metro Detroit by Eisenhower in 1991, the Company presents an annual subscription series and tours internationally. The company has performed works by choreographers David Parsons, Lar Lubovitch, Ron de Jesus, Michael Foley, Gina Patterson, Lauren Edson and Harrison McEldowney, among many others.
The Eisenhower Dance Center (EDC), under the umbrella of Eisenhower Dance (E/D), is a non-profit organization whose mission includes community outreach and education programs. The center aims to foster the appreciation of dance as an art form by providing the highest quality instruction to students of any age. The EDC sets itself apart from other dance schools by offering classes taught by former and current professional dancers, along with a staff of highly skilled, degreed instructors. With anatomically sound training and a focus on artistry rather than competition, the EDC stands out as the premier dance facility in the Detroit Metro area. Classes emphasize the student’s creative, artistic and technical development, taught in a positive and nurturing atmosphere. We offer classes in many styles appropriate for all levels and ages from preschool to adults.
