The Dartmouth Dance Ensemble is a professionally led performance group devoted to showcasing the talent of Dartmouth College students, staff and community members in the work of established choreographers.
Director John Heginbotham and Choreographer-in-Residence Rebecca Stenn, both based out of NYC, offer training in ballet and contemporary dance techniques, multiple performance opportunities throughout the academic year and the chance to experience a breadth of dance styles and content.
The Dartmouth Dance Ensemble, currently practicing virtually, looks forward to collaborating this summer with Dance Theatre of Harlem. Meanwhile, Director John Heginbotham is hosting Hop to Broadway, a series with special guests who discuss their work on the Great White Way. The next episode takes place on April 16 when Heginbotham chats with Broadway legend Dianne McIntyre.
Below are two excerpts from the DDE's Radiohead project, Everything in Its Right Place and Kid A.
