Dance Quilt

Evening Performances: May 15 & 16 at 7pm

Matinee Performance: May 16 at 2pm

Morris R. Williams Center for the Arts, Lafayette College

Concert Director, Kimberly Maniscalco, defines Quilt as, “An eclectic and colorful performance of professional quality that beautifully highlights the varied talents of our students and faculty.”
Quilt is the culminating event of a year- long rehearsal and performance course. All dance students audition for and are placed with a member of the Charter Arts dance faculty who will create original concert length work or restage existing choreography. Students are educated and involved, in numerous ways, casting through performance, in the creative process of making a dance, producing a dance concert, and participating as performers. Students also have the opportunity to audition for guest choreographers whose rehearsals are held after school.

Dance Soup

November 20-23

Charter Arts Black Box Theatre

Concert Director, Jennifer Weaver, defines Dance Soup as “A meaningful avenue for students to showcase a diverse array of choreographic expressions; all while exploring the effects of their artistic choices.” While Jennifer is out on maternity leave, we are happy to announce that Lisa Busfield will take on the role of Concert Director.

Dance Soup provides students with the opportunity to practice the skills they learn in Improvisation and Dance Composition classes. Through a lengthy process involving faculty acceptance of a student proposal, the auditioning of fellow classmates, settings rehearsal schedules, creation of a work, and attending mentoring sessions with faculty members, the student sharpens their leadership and choreographic skills.

Evening Performances November 20-22 at 7:00pm

Matinee Performances November 22 & 23 at 2:00pm

Tickets: $11 Adult, $9 Senior, $7 Student

You can reserve your seats in advance and avoid having to wait in line at the door by purchasing tickets online.

Dance Department Parent Meeting

Tuesday, September 9^th is the date of the Dance Department’s very informative, mandatory Dance Parent Meeting, 6:30-8:30 p.m., in the Charter Arts Black Box Theater. The purpose of this meeting is to open up a clear channel of parent/teacher communication.

Very important information will be dispersed and explained and any questions parents have will be helpful to this process. The Dance Department faculty expects all of our parents and guardians to be supportive of their dancer(s), and the details we cover in this meeting will help you in this position. We do not have other dance parent meetings during the year, so consider this a time to get acquainted or reacquainted with your child’s teachers and other parents of the dance department.

As you enter the school for this meeting on September 9th, please be sure to sign in at the front table before being seated in the theater. At least one parent or guardian from each dancer’s family MUST be present. Students are not required to attend as they will cover the information during school.
