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 is an all-inclusive group, and no audition is required to join. Members of the DDE come from a range of experience; some members are professional-level dancers, and some have relatively little formal dance training. All are welcome. Our meetings and rehearsals take place on Sundays from 2-4 pm in Straus Dance Studio.
Below are two excerpts from the DDE's Radiohead project, Everything in Its Right Place and Kid A.
