“I really enjoyed the process of choreographing my piece this semester. It was challenging at times but I continued to find new sources of inspiration and I’m so proud of the end result!” Greenberg said.

“My dance would be zilch, zippo, nada without my dancers, and I always felt a bolt of electric excitement for every rehersal we had. I am really going to miss them” Leonard Orozco ’18 said.

The University’s Department of Theatre and Dance will also present the Spring Dance Concert on April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and April 29 at 2:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Weis Center. Admission is $12 for adults and $7 for students and senior citizens — students may pay with their University ID.
