Community Show & Groove

We, the students of Dance, invite º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ and the wider community to experience the power of dance as we come together to cultivate collective joy in this semester's culminating performance and party event. Join us for an evening of dancing, performing, DJing, live drumming, witnessing, brave/supportive risk-taking, and togetherness. Dance is (for the) community and we want to celebrate that on the dance floor and in community with you (and, yes, we mean YOU!)
