The Dance Program will be representing Elon University at American College Dance Festival in Atlanta, March 10-14. This is the first time that Elon University has participated in this event.
Assistant professor Shouze Ma of the performing arts department, along with nine student dancers, will present “The Voices of Himalayas” at the American College Dance Festival – Southeast Regional in Atlanta. The American College Dance Festival Association’s primary focus is to support and promote the wealth of talent and creativity that is prominent throughout college and university dance departments. ACDFA provides the venue for students to engage in three days of workshops, lecture/ demonstrations and master classes taught by instructors from around the region and country. The festival also provides the unique opportunity for students and faculty to have their dance works adjudicated by a panel of nationally-recognized dance professionals in an open and constructive forum. Culminating with the presentation of pieces selected for their exemplary artistic quality, the festivals are the primary means for college and university dance programs to perform outside their own academic setting and be exposed to the diversity of the national college dance world.
