Seaside Children's Dance Ensemble

Seaside Children’s Dance Ensemble (SCDE) is the dance company affiliated with Seaside Arts Center. These world-class dance artists are proficient in several styles of dance, including ballet and historical modern. Most unique, the dancers of SCDE specialize in performing and preserving historically relevant dance as a living and embodied practice, focusing particularly on the choreography of modern dance pioneer, Isadora Duncan. Seaside Children’s Dance Ensemble members are among a limited number of dancers worldwide who continue Duncan’s legacy, and Seaside Arts Center is the only school in Southern California to offer this unique and specialized training. The dancers of SCDE also participate in the choreographic process and as they progress through the program learn to mentor younger artists and develop their skills as dance teachers. SCDE performs frequently around San Diego county and travels as necessary for additional performance opportunities.
