In 2019, Emily Kline and Melissa Faller, the founders of Emme Dance Collective, created a dance concert called “Bring Into Being” to introduce their company to the Lancaster area. This year, the pair has created “Veer” with a goal of distinguishing their dance company from other established organizations. “We want to be known for our thing, which is contemporarystyle movement,” explained Faller. “We are veering off into our own direction.” “Veer,” which will include 10 dance pieces and last about an hour, will be presented on Saturday, Feb. 29, at 7:30 p.m. at the Leffler Chapel and Performance Center at Elizabethtown College, 1 Alpha Drive, Elizabethtown. The original pieces choreographed by Kline and Faller will be performed by more

As with “Bring Into Being,” “Veer” will be performed in the style of contemporary dance, which includes techniques pulled from modern dance, but the program will depart from the themes of “Bring Into Being.” “This year, we are incorporating some different themes,” Kline pointed out. “There will be similarities, but we both tried to branch out.” Faller agreed. “I think with the title ‘Veer,’ we both felt (the work) was jarring,” she said, adding that the movement and music will be edgier compared to the calmer “Bring Into Being.” “This time we are trying to pack a punch with our movement and everything we are showing,” noted Faller.
