AN OASIS FOR DANCE

A place to retreat, revitalize, and restore the soul.

We foster a holistic approach to the creative process that results in authentically organic dance.

We are a non-profit, professional summer ballet company of extraordinary creatives committed to  producing outstanding works of art.

Founder & Artistic Director

Dansereye

A new kind of dance company

Translated from the Flemish, Dansereye simply means dance stuff, and originated from books of popular dance tunes called Dansereye, published in 1551 to accompany ordinary folk dances. Dansereye has also been defined as “particles of dance with strong interactions.”

A community of constructive disruptors

We honor the traditions and language of classical dance, while placing ourselves outside of the ballet establishment. We foster a holistic approach to the creative process that results in authentically organic dance.

REFLECTING ON THE 2024 SUMMER SEASON

THE FIFTH TEMPERAMENT

The Seven Deadly Songs (2023)

Back by popular demand and performed by the original cast, we presented the return of the genre-bending audience favorite of the 2023 Season. 

Music by Junior Brown, Emerson Lake and Palmer, The Weepies, The Buggles, DJ Chipman and Yummy Yummy, Claudio Monteverdi and Wendy Carlos, Nickleback, Christina Aguilera, and Everlast.

Second Salt (World Premiere) 

A modern parable about what really happened at Sodom and Gomorrah. Hint: It wasn’t about the sex!

Dansereye has commissioned original music by renowned film composer
Craig Safan.

La Bici (or, The Bike) (World Premiere) 

A new comedy, Dansereye put their athletic and imaginative spin on the world of professional cycling, set to beloved Italian classics.

Music by Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, Felix Mendelssohn and
Friedrich von Flotow.

The Difference Is In The Details

We are dedicated to producing unforgettably theatrical world premieres along with dynamic restagings of our signature ballets. 

Together, we deconstruct patterns and practices that separate us from each other. We move towards community and a shared common purpose. Dance allows us to suspend our disbelief about what is humanly possible. Come join us!
