:If you had the chance to see this show you will find a small sampling on this page in these pictures. If you missed the show, shame. It was terrific. Very strong all the way through across a range of works from five faculty (six pieces) and senior student Kameron Saunders which closed the program on high energy.
With luck - more info later. |

Appie Peterson in Off Center by Paula Weber - 3-panel sequence (Frame numbers left to right: 184, 185, 186)
There was also a fourth frame (187) which wasn't usable because I was a bit too early on the shot, just before she fully extended her leg.

Senior Recitals
These are held in the winter semester and the graduating seniors begin signups and rehearsals early in the fall semester. This is one of their last graded works. Each senior choreographs and directs a group piece and performs in a solo which may be self-choreography or another's and may also be a duet if there is a large enough mix of solo to duet.
There are a number of recital concerts, depending on the total number of seniors. Generally the mid-week concerts have in-town seniors while those with families out of town are scheduled for Saturdays so relatives can attend.

For some of the least expensive, good dance entertainment in Kansas City the University of Missouri Kansas City's Conservatory of Dance and Music's Dance Division offers some of the best young adult dancers in the area. UMKC's Dance Division is among the top dance schools in the country. Those of us who live in this area often miss that distinction but people elsewhere know (isn't it always so?).
