Fall Dance Concert

Patrons who enjoy discovering the kaleidoscope of ways the artform manifests won’t want to miss this concert! Each piece will be a testament to the power and fearlessness of the human spirit. Faculty choreographers present work in genres ranging from modern/contemporary to ballet to jazz. Work by guest choreographer Amirah Sackett, an internationally recognized hip-hop dancer, choreographer, and educator, serves as the finale of this repertoire concert. Sackett embodies her Muslim American identity through combining hip-hop movement and Islamic themes.
