UC Dancers Performing Twice This Week

UC Dancers will be performing at 2 events this coming week! First we'll be performing for FOTA this Thursday, May 12, between noon and 1 p.m., in Hutch Courtyard. Then, we'll be performing at Summer Breeze on Saturday, May 14, at 1:15 p.m.

We'll be performing "Festivus Overratedus" (pictured above), choreographed by Brian Enos*, as well as student-choreographed work.

*Brian Enos's piece is made possible, in part, by UT/TAPS and the Student Fine Arts Fund.

Who are we?

Now in our 36th year, UC Dancers is the University of Chicago's oldest dance group. We aim to foster an encouraging, supportive, and creative environment for dancers of all levels to express themselves through modern and contemporary jazz dance. We achieve this goal through open auditions, encouraging student choreography and improvisation, and hosting free, all-levels dance classes taught by professional dancers and instructors.

We also hold an annual Winter Concert featuring student choreography along with one professionally-choreographed piece. Our Winter Concert is held in BARS towards the end of winter quarter.
