Dance Performance

All interested students are encouraged to enroll in repertory classes (DANC 049) and/or to audition for student and faculty works. These auditions take place severaltimes each semester; dates are announced in classes and in the Weekly News. Formal concerts take place toward the end of each semester; informal studio concerts are scheduled throughout the semester.

In addition to student performances, the Dance Program presents performances by well-known choreographers in association with the William J. Cooper Foundation, as well as informal performances with Swarthmore Project choreographers throughout the year. All of these performances are part of residency programs which provide Swarthmore students opportunities to interact with and learn from the visiting artists.
