The USN Dance Program has recently had the privilege of working with two alumni choreographers in preparation for the upcoming Spring Dance Concert.
The USN Dance Program has recently had the privilege of working with two alumni choreographers in preparation for the upcoming Spring Dance Concert.
Emma Smith (Class of 2013) is a sophomore at Connecticut College majoring in Dance. She visited in January and worked with a group of dancers to create a modern piece about overcoming obstacles in a new environment.
Julia Garrison (Class of 2008), now a law student at Georgetown University, this year returned to her alma mater for the fifth time to set two hip hop pieces. Because of inclement weather, many rehearsals for these pieces were cancelled. However, Julia made room in her busy schedule to come to USN for a second weekend to continue working with the dancers.
The first dance she created features a small group of women and focuses on the meaning of feminism. The second is a larger piece to a popular, upbeat song. We are grateful for Emma and Julia’s time and dedication to the USN High School Dance Program, and we look forward to performing these pieces in May at Ingram Hall.
