Eisenhower Dance Ensemble (EDE), Michigan’s premier contemporary dance company, will perform Motown in Motion. Audience members will experience the best of contemporary dance in a tribute to the music of Motown. 
This visual salute to the tunes that rocked the Motor City and made Motown Records famous includes dance vignettes performed by EDE to recordings from top Motown artists, such as the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight, Martha and the Vendellas, and the Supremes, among others.
Playful and humorous, Motown in Motion is designed to appeal to a diverse audience of all ages, Motown fans and dance aficionados alike. It gives an entertaining as well as historical look at Motown, a distinctly American artistic and cultural legacy.
The Eisenhower Dance Ensemble dancers will be conducting workshops and master classes for area dancers. Dancers from the Louanne Courtright Dance Studio have been invited to perform with EDE in the dance “I Heard it Through the Grapevine”.
Also on the program will be various selections from EDE’s awe-inspiring repertory. A professional contemporary dance company, EDE is known for its versatile and virtuosic dancers, as well as its entertaining and athletic choreography. Since it’s founding in 1991, EDE has achieved the distinction of being Michigan’s premiere professional dance ensemble. The Company maintains an active touring schedule, which has taken it as far as St. Petersburg, Russia, as well as throughout the United States.
This performance is funded in part by the Michigan Humanities Council.
