about edc

Serving as the only adult dance company in Frederick, Equinox Dance Company (EDC) strives to promote dance as an expressive art form, as well as a physical activity, throughout the community by means of both performance and educational lectures. EDC is a highly diverse company, fusing jazz and tap with its contemporary modern-based background. Consisting of approximately fifteen devoted dancers, this troupe's talents shine not only through their dancing abilities, but also through their creative choreographic skills.

Equinox Dance Company presents an annual performance every spring, which showcases an eclectic mix of dance styles. EDC's repertoire consist of works by company members, as well as guest artists including Polly Thibodeau of the DC-based Dance Performance Group; Leslie Moore, Artistic Director of the YMCA Youth Ballet; Eileen Schwartz of Bosma Dance Company; Gina Korrell, Artistic Director of 24/7 Dance Studio, Andrea Lignon of Jane Franklin Dance, and Jenifer Dobbins, founder of the Frederick Dance Alliance. In addition to the spring performance, Equinox also performs at Frederick community events, such as DanceFest and In The Street. Equinox also hosts an annual Children's Show, with proceeds benefiting a local charitable organization.
