Welcome Back!

Hi Everyone, 

We are very excited to let you know that we are planning to make some significant changes this year in an effort to make UC Dancers a more active and cohesive group! Here is a brief summary of what to expect for the coming year.  

Company: We are going to be creating a small company that will be performing at various events on campus apart from the annual winter show. Members would be required to attend rehearsals and a certain number of classes and workshops per quarter. Company auditions will be held on Monday, October 15, from 7 to 8:30. 

Classes: Autumn Eckman, the Artistic Associate Director of Giordano Dance, is going to be teaching some master classes this quarter. Her first class is going to be on Sunday, October 21, from 11 to 12. To start of the year, there will also be two basic contemporary jazz classes next week (Monday from 7:30 to 9 and Wednesday from 9 to 10:30). All classes are free and open to all university members. 

Show: We are going to have our annual winter show sometime by the end of February. The date of the audition has not yet been finalized but will probably be around the 7th week of fall quarter. This is open to everyone but we strongly encourage those interested in auditioning to attend as many classes as possible. 

Events: We are going to be organizing a lot more trips this year. If you are interested in taking a class or in watching a show, please let one of us know and we will try to plan a group trip.

Note that all of our events will be in BARS this quarter. 

Do not hesitate to contact any of us if you have any questions or comments! Please stop by our table at the RSO Fair tomorrow to hear more about the exciting things we have planned for this year. We look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces soon!

Best,
