About Eclipse Dance Company

The Eclipse Dance Company is a division of ADC ARTS CORP, a non-profit corporation.  Under the direction of Choreographer Jennifer Gamache-Dubilo (executive director of ADC), Eclipse performs at local and regional venues across New England. Founded in 2005 with a mission to bring the art of dance to the Western Massachusetts community, Jennifer and her company create dance with a strong narrative element. This unique brand of storytelling creates an engaging atmosphere in performance and appeals to a wide range of audiences. The dancers, each with their own individual experiences in the world of dance, come together to create a diverse mix of performers, committed to the work and sure to entertain.
The company rehearses throughout the year to produce one full-length concert and several pieces for performance throughout the region. The company has been featured at First Night Northampton, The Brooklyn Dance Festival, Plymouth State University Dance Premier, The Massachusetts Dance Festival, The Boston Contemporary Dance Festival, The  International festival of Arts and Ideas, and The Artistic Dance Conservatory Gala, as well as on local television events.

In June 2003, Jennifer formed Artistic Dance Conservatory. Her vision created a professional dance school, which offers its students a variety of dance instructions in a creative, positive atmosphere and state-of-the-art facilities. Through her school, she teaches dance technique for both recreational and pre-professional students. Graduating pre-professional students go on to professional companies or choose a college dance major.  Jennifer is instrumental in guiding her students and preparing them for difficult auditions. Jennifer's students have moved on to schools such as NYU Tisch School of Dance, Boston Conservatory, University of the ArtsMarymount Manhattan College, Connecticut CollegeCalifornia Institute of the Arts and Arizona University College of Fine Arts; to name a few.  Students who pursue another occupation graduate with confidence, discipline and respect and have moved on to top Universities worldwide.   Throughout her career, Jennifer has received numerous choreography awards for her work in Contemporary, Jazz, and Modern dance. Her students have been honored with many prestigious awards for their solo and group performances in Contemporary Lyrical, Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Hip Hop dance.  Jennifer's community outreach efforts are developed through the ADC ARTS CORP., a 501(c)3, for which she is both the President and Head Choreographer and relies on an incredibly talented staff, many of which were her student at some point.  As the former Director of the Dance Department and Choreographer for the Theater Department for 10 years at the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT, Jennifer had the pleasure of creating original choreography for dance concerts and musical productions. Her musical theater credits include 11 original productions including Thoroughly Modern Millie, Wonderful Town and Anything Goes.  Jennifer had the privilege of coaching for the American Team at the IDO World Dance Championships in Poland, where her dancers won the overall gold medals for Male Solo Jazz and Contemporary Duet performances. In the past, Jennifer's contemporary choreography and teaching style has been chosen to debut in festivals like Dancin' Downtown at the Joyce, The Mass Dance Festival, The International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Dance for World Community, Southern Vermont Dance Festival, The Brooklyn Dance Festival, and the Boston Contemporary Dance festival.  Jennifer is continuously educating herself in dance and has had the privilege to work with and study under many dance masters.
