dancEnlight strives to enrich the community, enlighten audiences of all ages, and inspire cultural development, locally and globally. Founded by Lorelei Chang in 2008, currently in residence at Connecticut Concert Ballet. dancEnlight is a professional modern dance company that performs in the US & Japan under the direction of Lorelei Chang (US) and Mai Nakanishi (Japan). Ms Chang & Nakanishi draw their inspiration from their Asian background and creates cross-cultural works with inventive ideas. Their idea of combining dance and the ancient art form of Chinese calligraphy have uniquely set the company a part from others. Through artistic collaboration, dancEnlight attempts to work with local and global artists together, to create lasting, high quality works of art that can be embraced by a wide range of audiences.

dancEnlight's mission is dedicated to fostering the arts through excellence in dance, education and artistic collaboration in a tapestry of Eastern and Western culture & ideas.
