This year's Dance Concert, "Different Dimensions," is upcoming. We have been working hard all semester learning and even creating pieces we are excited to share with you. From freshmen to seniors, we have over 40 dancers in this year's concert. All of the dancers have collaborated together this year to create a fun and creative show.
This semester, dancers have learned how to work hard and trust each other throughout all of the dances and other projects thrown their way. Many dancers will perform on the stage at Ingram Hall for the first time; others are preparing to take their final bow after four years of dancing at USN. The show is the perfect blend of every dancer, highlighting the strengths and successes of everyone.
“Different Dimensions” perfectly describes how unique each dancer is and how all of our differences fit together to make this incredible show. We hope you come to see the amazing show on which we’ve all worked so hard.
Performances are 7 p.m. Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 in Ingram Hall at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music. Tickets are $5 each, and Tiger Arts Patron members are free. Come out and see a fun and exciting show.
