Welcome to the Trading Floor!

Who We Are: 

 EADE was established in 2019 and designed to offer dancers a platform for artistic expression.

EADE not only grooms technical dance training but also develops students into hard-working, fast-learning, professional individuals.

2023-2024 EADE Family

Our Misson:

By immersing dancers in a judgement-free environment that focuses solely on student-oriented, artistic development, EADE sets a foundation for the dancer’s success in any genre he/she chooses to pursue. 

EADE teachers are committed to providing every student with a comprehensive understanding of the art form—passionately infusing each student with the love, freedom, and power of dance. 

EADE seeks to: 

  • safely and effectively train students in dance techniques
  • educate students about the history of dance as an art
  • foster dancers’ personal relationships with dance and the dance community
  • provide a performance platform for dancers to share artistic information

What is the Trading Floor? 

The Trading Floor is a dance showcase event hosted by Ellen Alvin Dance Exchange. The Floor allows for an exchange of creative artistry. Students receive an opprotunity to perform as well as learn from other dance performers. The Trading Floor further enables students to engage in artistic growth and diversity. 

To EADE, dance is an avenue for artistic exchange or "trading" of ideas which enriches individuals not only as dancers but also as members of a community. Join us on the Trading Floor!
