Hello All!

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately, the start of the school year means a turn over of blog control but things will be more consistent from now on. This year we have 24 fantastic new dancers joining us in the dance space, classes have started and everyone is getting settled in for another wonderful year.

We have completed company ensemble auditions for our fall show and rehearsals are in full swing! We have an evening of Stravinsky planned and the show will include Firebird with choreography by Michael Gleason, Pulcinella with choreography by our department chair Tauna Hunter, The Rite of Spring with choreography by Mark Santillano, and Closing the Glass Door a piece by guest artist Randy James from Rutgers University.

We are also in the midst of preparing for the homecoming/parents weekend show on September 25th here at Mercyhurst where department will be performing two pieces. On the bill is a piece titled Fragments choreographed by the world renowned Bruce Marks as well as Closing the Glass Door by Randy James.

So as you can tell things are already busy in the department but everyone is working hard and loving every minute of it. We have some amazing things planned for this year and we can't wait to share them with everyone!

"We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams."
