Fall 2025 exchange visit by the National School of Contemporary Dance, UK
In the Fall of 2025, six National School of Contemporary Dance students and their Head of Undergraduate Studies spent a week at the School of Dance creating and collaborating with our dancers.
"This partnership with NSCD aligns perfectly with our mission to foster innovation and excellence in the arts," said D’Arcy, an Associate Professor in the School of Dance. "We look forward to the many opportunities this collaboration will bring for our students and faculty."—Shaun D'Arcy
