Eisenhower Dance

Praised by critics as one of the nation’s premier contemporary dance companies, Eisenhower Dance has spent 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 has since received praise from critics around the country including: “A hand-clapping delight” (Chicago Tribune), “Dance that touches the soul” (Detroit Free Press), and “No-nonsense moves from the midwest...would be a pleasure to see them again” (New York Times). Eisenhower Dance has produced several full-evening length touring productions. These include The Light Show, a collaboration between four choreographers and four lighting designers; Motown in Motion, a visual salute to the tunes that made Motown records famous; Laugh Tracks, an evening of comedy in dance; Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring as part of the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival; and Dances from the Heart of Rock and Roll, a heartfelt tribute set to folk and rock music.
