Backstage is Onstage 2021

Описание: Backstage is Onstage is a works in progress performance that showcases our students as they engage in choreographing their own work or in creating their dance films. The dance works will be further crafted for our final performance in the spring. This concert also features professional guest artist repertory from Alex Biegleson and Tracy Dunbar.

This year has marked many firsts for our dance program due to Covid. Dances that you will see will follow social distancing guidelines, and performers wearing masks. Many of our students rehearsed over Zoom and only had one or two rehearsals together. However, this year the students also performed for the first time in APA Dance’s black box theater!

Please virtually applaud our students' accomplishments! (We do not own the rights to any music)
