The program will feature pieces choreographed by Denise Dugan Cupoli, Margaret Francoeur-Dunne, Zoë Marr Hilliard, Alycia Hollister, Kris Jacoby, Stephanie A. Jones, Twyla Marr, Suzanne Mueller, Sarah E. Oakley, Nicole Ullman, Alex Welych-Miller, and Abyrana Wood. In addition to the choreographers, the ensemble of 17 dancers will also include Mary Barron, Candy Jones, Janet Kennedy-Farmer, Julie Newirth Redington, and Susan Wood. “Marble Valley Dance Collective started as a conversation between friends,” said Zoë Marr Hilliard, MVDC Vice President and one of the group’s founders. What began as two friends meeting at a kitchen table after putting their kids to bed in December 2021 has blossomed into an official and thriving non-profit organization. “We found each other through our mutual passion for dance and decided to work together towards increasing the opportunities for adult dancers and dance enthusiasts in the area. Our collective is currently made up of 17 performing members plus many more who join us for weekly classes,” said Hilliard. “We are so thrilled to see our vision come to fruition and to be able to provide adult dancers in our community the opportunity to take class, teach, choreograph, and perform. We have also developed beautiful friendships, artistic connections, and a network that continues to grow. We are so excited to see what the future holds and are delighted to be able to share our work with you.”
