Combining elements of both modern and jazz dance, Zenon is known for its versatile and fearlessly physical productions. The company has commissioned works by many renowned American choreographers including Bill T. Jones, Doug Varone, Bebe Miller, Tere O’Connor, Danny Buraczeski and Seán Curran. They have toured extensively in the Midwest and have appeared at national and international festivals.
In addition to their regular performances, Zenon maintains a school that offers an extraordinary range of classes in almost any style from African dance to yoga. They have adult and youth programs as well as community educational programs that target specific populations such as nursing home residents and kinesiology students.
