Marianne Hakanson founded M.A. Dance Project and her contemporary dance company; Impact Dance Company in 2004 at the Railyard Shopping Center.  Heading into our 21st season we remain true to our roots and at our same brick and mortar.  Impact Dance Company is a fertile ground for creating, inspiring and exploring the art of contemporary dance.  Our dance company focuses on training, performing and building a repertoire of distinctive, purposeful work and a source of inspiration for our dancers and community.  Although we do compete from time to time; that is not our ultimate objective.  Our main intention is to grow as artists with a secure amount of technical foundation, explore all genres and to excel beyond the studio.

 

Marianne Hakanson created Artists Ensemble in 2019.  AE is devoted to the dancers seeking dance education within a professional dance training atmosphere and for dancers who possess a genuine respect and passion for the art form and are extremely dedicated. AE is an addition to Impact Dance Company and has its own separate audition process.
