Our Story
The Traverse City Dance Project originated on a rooftop in New York City in 2012, where professional dancers Brent Whitney and Jennifer McQuiston Lott envisioned a platform for artistic expression. Driven by Brent's passion for dance and his roots in Traverse City, Michigan, the project aims to provide the community with access to high-quality dance performances and educational opportunities. This initiative not only showcases professional talent but also nurtures local artists, fostering a vibrant arts culture in Northern Michigan.
