The first production, “The All Night Strut,” will be staged Wednesday, Oct. 11, through Sunday, Oct. 15, in the University Theatre. Attendees will take a trip down memory lane, enjoying songs and dance from the 1930s and 40s.

The fall dance performance, Dance Harvest 2017, will run from Thursday, Nov. 16, to Sunday, Nov. 19. Distinguished faculty and guest artists will perform center stage in the University Theatre with modern, jazz, and ballet styles of dance.

The final production of the season will be the annual spring dance concert, BodyWorks 2018. Students whose work was selected for presentation at the American College Dance Association Conference, along with faculty members and guest artists, will perform Thursday, April 19, to Sunday, April 22.
