Morgan McEwen is the founder and artistic director of MorDance, a nonprofit company dedicated to pushing the boundaries of ballet. McEwen lives in Hastings-on-Hudson with her husband and their daughter. MorDance had been based in Yonkers since 2020, but plans to move into the Hudson River Landing building at 145 Palisade Street in Dobbs Ferry. The company’s new home of nearly 6,500-square-feet, with a skylight roof, will serve as a rehearsal space and a performing arts venue. The renovation is in the design and development phase, with plans to begin construction in June and open in January 2027. The Dispatch spoke with McEwen about MorDance’s roots and future plans as well as the importance of ballet and the performing arts.
