What is AU’s connection to the professional dance community, locally, nationally and internationally?
In addition to a professionally active faculty, the Dance Program has a long history of hosting nationally and internationally recognized guest artists who teach master classes, stage choreography, present lecture-demonstrations, adjudicate student choreography, and serve as creative advisors and professional mentors to students. Past guest artists include Sean Curran, Peter DiMuro, Doug Elkins, Risa Jaroslow, Amir Kolben, Francisca Morand, Risa Steinberg, Sara Skaggs, and Ed Tyler. Also, many AU alumni are active members of the dance field and maintain a close ties with the university.
