Spring 2025
Busy winter break for us! We had two residencies for guest artists, one in December with Robyn Mineko and the other in January with Yue Yin. Both of these incredible artists were staging their pieces on our students in preparation for our Gala concert in March. We held our New York City audition in January, and suddenly we are back!
Classes are in full swing. Our student choreographers auditioned dancers the first week of school for their creations, and immediately began their rehearsals. Aside from some very sore muscles, all the majors are excited and eager to be back in the studios. (The faculty is full of Advil and happy to be back as well).
Please mark your calendars for our Fete held on March 29th. Our co-chairs, Kim Eby and Julia Morelli, are already planning menus, flowers, and presentations. It is always a fantastic party and fundraiser before the Gala and truly prepares our guests for a deeper experience with the performance. If you can't make it to the Fete, join us at the Gala concert, Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29 at 8:00 pm in the Concert Hall, for a powerful, joyous and magical show.
And lastly, our recent alum, Michael Cherry, 2024, will be making his Kennedy Center debut on March 20, 21, and 22 as a company member with Complexions, one of America’s leading dance companies.
In fact, close to 80% of the class of 2024 went into professional dance jobs within three months of graduation-- an absolutely stellar year for us!
