The production will feature works by guest artists and SFA faculty members from the dance program. The Alief Jazz Ballet Company, which is under the direction of alumna Kelsey Key, will perform, marking the first time alumni from the SFA dance program have performed alongside the Repertory Dance Company.
"I love the content of this concert. It's diverse and exciting, and I feel the students really enjoy the work they are performing," said Heather Samuelson, dance program co-coordinator and assistant professor.
