EDC Particpates in Frederick Artist Market

Equinox recently particpated in downtown Frederick's local Artist Market, located at the Cultural Arts Center. We performed structured improv sessions, accompanied by a live classical guitarist. We also had an informational table and sold our new, handpainted EDC t-shirts!

The indoor arts and crafts market features the work of up to 35 local artists, including jewelry, pottery, art, photography, and other hand-crafted items. The special event, which is free to attend and open to the public, is held six times per year. Don't miss the upcoming special Holiday Artist Market on November 27, Frosty Friday! For more information, including how to participate, contact the Frederick Arts Council at 301-662-4190 or via email jdobbins@frederickartscouncil.org.

In the Streets


On Saturday, October 3rd Equinox Dance Company held an open Works-in-Progress modern Dance Showcase; Children's Workshop; and Adult Technique class at the Cultural Arts Center located in downtown Frederick. All activities took place during Frederick's In The Streets Festival/ First Saturday.

EDC had quite a turn-out for the above said activities and it was an afternoon of fun for the whole family.

Special thanks to Chrissa for advertising for Equinox in front of the Cultural Arts Center, even though she is unable to move due to an injured leg. Take your vitamins my dear and get better soon! We'll need you in the Spring.




Rain again? Really?





Obviously as soon as we pencil in an EDC yard sale on our calendars mother nature has another idea for us. Thankfully, we managed to ward off the showers until the very end of the yardsale.... and sell most of our items in the process!

The Mount Airy Carnival Grounds yard sale was a huge success for EDC (and I'm sure many others). Yard sellers were as far as the eye could see. Just some donated items, tables, warm coffee and we were good to go!

Thanks to everyone that donated and/or volunteered and a special thank you to Kim Dow for providing a large (and much needed) collapsible tent.

All yard sale proceeds went directly to Equinox Dance Company so thanks to all for supporting the Arts!

Practice Makes Perfect.....



I dropped by rehearsal on Saturday, Sept 13th to say hello to my lovely dancing ladies of EDC. Laurie Newton was teaching a wonderful and challenging modern piece that got everyone back into the swing of things.
(swing...get it... hardi..hardi.. ahem.... um... yeah.)

Thanks Laurie! Can't wait to check out your new choreography for EDC this year.

Take a look at the photos and how some of the dances are progressing.
