Eva Dean Dance (EDD) recently provided PS 56 in Forte Green, Brooklyn a very special Art Education experience. EDD’s Art Education event featured our Newest BOUNCE dance as well as interactive student participation.

This is EDD’s third year providing Art Education at PS 56. Some of the other schools and organizations that EDD has brought dance to are IS 259 in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, and Alice Teirstein's "Young Dancemakers" in New York City.

Dean has also set EDD repertoire on college and conservatory students, created new dances for Brooklyn Public school students, and taught master choreography workshops as a guest artist. Past residencies and workshops include Hampshire College in Massachusetts, Bennington College in Vermont, and Hartford Conservatory Dance in Connecticut.

We are a versatile company that can tailor programming to suit the needs of each school or organization we work with. Ms. Dean and her dancers enjoy performing for and working with children, teens, college students, pre-professional dancers and non-dance students. Ms. Dean is available to choreograph dances for any age level. We would like to hear from you about your programming needs.
