Dorrance Dance

Dorrance Dance was founded by dancer Michelle Dorrance in late 2010/early 2011.
Its debut performance was on a shared evening with Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards at Danspace Project, for which the company received a Bessie Award for "blasting open our notions about tap." Dorrance has since choreographed three evening-length works for the company: SOUNDspace, The Blues Project, and ETM: The Initial Approach.
Their 2024 production of The Nutcracker received favorable reviews.

White House Controversy

In December 2023 Dorrance Dance performed a staging of The Nutcracker inside the Biden Administration White House. The performance was controversial, but The New York Times commented that "it was shocking to see something as innocuous as The Nutcracker stir up such outrage."
