The Dance Company Middlebury Pre-Semester Workshop is an immersive introduction to the season’s creative process, centered on the question What is a body? Dancing Outside the Lines. Dancers engage in a rigorous and exploratory practice that moves between structure and exploration, working collaboratively to build, reshape, and refine movement. The workshop establishes a shared language and creative approach for the ensemble.

The workshop is open to all students. Participation is required for dancers selected to be part of Dance Company Middlebury.

What Is a Body? Dancing Outside the Lines: 

What else might a body be capable of?
What happens when it moves beyond the forms it knows? 

Dance Company Middlebury (DCM), directed by Visiting Assistant Professor Meshi Chavez with guest choreographer Jimmy Joyner, invites dancers into a pre-professional ensemble grounded in exploration, creation, and performance. 

Welcome home! Sit down, take your jacket off, and relax while we show you all the reasons I love my culture. Se Fue La Luz embodies the phrase, “I love you, but”. Through movement, light, and archival glimpses of Dominican culture, it holds accountability for the spaces where my community falls short while celebrating its beauty, rhythm, and love. Feel the Tambora in the merengue beats, chismear a little, and witness the truths embedded in my hair. 

The Senior thesis of Evelyn Rodriguez ‘26.
