Double–Edge Dance is a contemporary dance and music company co-founded in 1993 by choreographer/dancer Kora Radella and composer/saxophonist Ross Feller . They have performed their work throughout the U.S.A. and in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Belgium. Double-Edge Dance has been supported by grants from organizations in Belgium and Switzerland, the Illinois Arts Council, and Ingenuity Fest, Cleveland's annual festival of art and technology.


Double-Edge Dance conjures multiple perspectives by utilizing a diverse array of artistic themes and processes.

Double-Edge Dance works with contradiction and juxtaposition, layering materials and images including idiosyncratic movement invention, unpredictable phrasing, full 3-D motion, and disorientation paired with point-on precision. Complex rhythms and textures develop from the seemingly incidental.

Double-Edge Dance maintains a sense of live spontaneity through choreography, composition, and improvisation.
