The choreographers include Seniors Marissa Augustin, Jordan Klitzke, Sarah Jabar, Patrick Jeffery, Katelyn Pedersen, Andrea Nelson, Nina Serratore, Jill VanOsdol and Kayla Winter, and Juniors Haley Carpenter, Amy Hassenstab, and Leah McEllistrem.
This captivating and diverse dance concert is intended to be a platform for creative research in both choreography and design.
