Dance Theatre Company
Â鶹ɫÇéƬ’s Dance Theatre Company is the Dance and Performance Studies Program’s professionally-oriented dance company. It is open to all Â鶹ɫÇéƬ dancers, via auditions that happen at the start of every semester.
Our goal is to acquaint both the University, the state and the region with Dance, Performance Art and Movement Theatre through workshops, master classes, lecture- demonstrations, site and concert performances.
Upcoming Events
Dance Theatre is the repertory company of Â鶹ɫÇéƬ’s Dance & Performance Studies Program.
All Â鶹ɫÇéƬ students are welcome to audition! Though required of all Dance Majors, many Minors and Core Concentrators also love being a part of this dynamic dance-making community.
Dance Theatre members develop their resumes and professional networks by working in a company setting with guest artists, faculty, and peer choreographers. Each semester the company performs a series of events that are open to the public. Our week-long concert series at the end of each semester is a notorious friend and family favorite.
