The Center for Contemporary Dance offers a performance-based education without competitions or recitals. All students, regardless of age or skill level, have the opportunity to participate in afully-themed Spring Concert that takes place at the close of the spring term. The 2013 SpringConcert,Radiance, showcases soulful and vibrant dance works inspired by Native American mythology, with a focus on the magical connection to the natural world. Dance works are created by faculty choreographers and guest choreographers.
The Center for Contemporary Dance does not allow the use of regular class hours for performance preparation. Regular classes are reserved for the practice of broad skill sets and limiting class time to the learning of a single performance routine is not conducive to a holistic education in dance. For this reason, students in the Concert attend special rehearsals, separate from regular classes; this model gives students the additional experience of ‘learning like a professional,’ with exposure to industry standards that come with Concert preparation. Join us for this rewarding artistic experience!
