Calling all dancers
Georgia College & State University offers two dance programs to its students. First off, there is the Dance Minor Program offered to all students who want to get accredited in different forms of dance such as modern, ballet, tap and jazz. The first dance minor meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 1 p.m. in the Miller Dance Studio.
There is also the Community Dance Program open to everyone in the Milledgeville community. This is a non-credit program that allows children and adults to participate in dance. Both are housed in the Music and Theatre Department.
Every winter the Community Dance Program performs “The Nutcracker.” Everyone involved in the Community Dance Program participates in the production of “The Nutcracker.” This year “The Nutcracker” is on Dec. 12, 13 and 14.
In the spring, the Dance Minor Concert is presented. There will be an audition later this semester for all dancers who want to participate in the Dance Minor Concert.
Also, Jennifer Davis will be joining the programs this semester as the new dance instructor. With a BFA in Dance from Florida State University, Davis is being held to high expectations.
