Embodied​ was presented in December of 2019, the third annual collaboration between young dancers across the state of Michigan. Thank you to those of you who joined us in celebrating the excellence of youth artists in Michigan for a night of newly developed contemporary dance works. This concert was presented by Young Dancers Initiative and Eisenhower Dance Detroit Youth Ensemble with guest performances from The Dance Shoppe.

YDI premiered their newest work Body Talks: A Trilogy, created by Emerging Choreographer Project Winner, Alyssa Brutlag. The work explores three major systems of the body and brings each to life through movement.

Meet the Guest Artists

The Dance Shoppe traces its roots back 37 years, when it was owned and operated by Terri Newman, formerly called Terri Newman’s Dance Shoppe. The traditions and values of strong technique with a family friendly atmosphere continue to thrive today, under the ownership of Lauren Lenter. Everyone truly is a star at the Dance Shoppe, from our youngest recreational dancers in our outstanding preschool program, to our award winning Classy Dancers competition team.   



Thank you to our Youth Arts Partners!
