Founded in 1997, the mission of the Evanston Dance Ensemble is to bring the artistry and excitement of dance to our community using a corps of talented young dancers and to further the training of these dedicated dancers by providing them with an opportunity to work with professional choreographers, designers and guest dancers in high quality theatrical productions.

In residence at Dance Center Evanston, the Ensemble produces a mainstage production every year, with works ranging from story ballets, to book adaptations, to stylistically diverse compilations. In addition, EDE performs at many venues throughout the Chicagoland area, including Dance Chicago, the Evanston Public Library, and with the Evanston Symphony Orchestra.

Co-Artistic Director and Founder: Béa Rashid
Co-Artistic Director, Christina Ernst


NEW! EDE announces its second company, ede2!

dances inspired by our favorite fairy tales.
Stay tuned for more information!
