KU dancers get their groove on as their talents light up the stage this spring. Faculty choreographers Maya Tillman-Rayton and Claire Buss present a theatrical nod to the 1970's New York City dance scene that includes jazz, hip hop, and disco styles. Michelle Heffner Hayes presents a meditative, rhythmic, contemporary modern work with music composed by Forrest Pierce of the KU School of Music. Students will perform demanding choreography by guest artist Sam McReynolds in a work based on the ethos "People first, dancers second, always equal." McReynolds choreographs in Kansas City and Los Angeles for stage and screen. He dances with the Owen/Cox Dance Company. The Jayhawk Tap Co. will also be featured.

Lidded drinks are allowed in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre. 

Advanced ticket purchase recommended. 

Performances on April 10 and 12 will be available via livestream.

Ticket price: $10-$25
