Help us welcome one of our new dancers, Evan Ambrose! Be sure to stay tuned as he takes over our insta story tomorrow!

Evan Ambrose is a dancer, educator, and choreographer from Huntsville, Alabama, whose path into dance began unconventionally at the age of 17. What started as a late introduction quickly evolved into a relentless pursuit—training at Soles Dance Center and Huntsville Ballet School before continuing as a trainee with Charlotte Ballet and furthering his studies at The Rock School for Dance Education in Philadelphia.
He has performed nationally with companies including Alabama Ballet, Ballet22, Oakland Ballet, and Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, bringing a dynamic presence to stages ranging from opera houses to contemporary performance spaces. In 2021, Evan joined Ballet22 in San Francisco, a groundbreaking company challenging traditional gender norms in ballet; there, he performed en pointe in original works and reimagined classical repertoire through a contemporary, inclusive lens.
Over the past two seasons, Evan has appeared as a principal guest artist with Palmetto Conservatory of Dance, Lone Star Ballet, Columbia Classical Ballet, and West Michigan Youth Ballet, further expanding his presence across regional and national stages.
His career extends across a wide spectrum of performance contexts, with additional guest appearances including Florida Grand Opera, Dzul Dance, III Points Music Festival and Treefort Music Fest, among others. His repertoire spans classical and contemporary voices, featuring works by George Balanchine, Agnes de Mille, Dwight Rhoden, Omar Román de Jesús, and Myles Thatcher.

One of our favorite parts of creating new work is collaborating with live musicians.

Back in March, for our Women’s History Month program Remind Us, we had the joy of working alongside pianist Paul Harris and . Their artistry brought an entirely new dimension to the performance, reminding us why live music and dance are such a powerful partnership.

We’re especially excited to welcome Kira back this summer for MorDance’s free waterfront performance on July 18 at Dobbs Ferry Waterfront Park.

Today we are honored to share a transformational milestone for MorDance.

MorDance has been awarded a $2 million Capital Projects Fund grant from the New York State Council on the Arts toward the creation of the MorDance Performing Arts Center in Dobbs Ferry.

Over the past decade, MorDance has grown into an institution serving thousands of individuals annually through performances, workshops, student matinees, educational initiatives, and community programs throughout Westchester County and beyond.

This transformational investment will support the creation of a permanent home for that work — including professional studios, a flexible black box theater, educational programming, and community gathering spaces designed to serve artists, students, families, and audiences for generations to come.

We are deeply grateful to the New York State Council on the Arts, Governor Kathy Hochul, the New York State Legislature, and the many artists, supporters, donors, elected officials, and community members who have helped make this vision possible.

The future home of MorDance is no longer just an idea. It is taking shape.

This project is made possible with support from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Thank you to The Ballet Herald for this thoughtful review of Unwritten at New York Live Arts.

We’re especially grateful to see recognition not only of the performance itself, but of the broader mission behind MorDance: using dance as a space for community, civic dialogue, education, and connection.

Unwritten explores the Constitution as a living, evolving document and reflects on the generations of people who have helped shape its promises of freedom, equality, and belonging.

We are incredibly proud of our dancers, collaborators, and supporters who made this work possible. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this journey.

MorDance Unwritten Review: In a work that imagines the U.S. Constitution as a living, breathing document, the company proves they can move beyond the walls of a theater.
