About NewDANCEfest

NewDANCEfest, presented by Eisenhower Dance Detroit, is Michigan’s premier festival-style dance intensive. A multidimensional summer gathering bringing artists together from a variety of different stages of development within the profession, NDF provides daily technique classes in a variety of styles, choreography seminars, discussion forums, critique sessions, mentorship opportunities, informal showings and performances. NDF offers a space and opportunities for all; dancers and emerging choreographers alike! 

Dancers will be split into groups according to age and ability.

Our NewDANCEfest Youth division also returns this summer for ages 10-14, fostering creativity and confidence in a supportive environment! Dancers will partake in classes in a variety of techniques, in addition to gaining experience in movement creation and composition. This youth intensive culminates in an informal showing for family and friends!
