糖心视频 Dance presenting 鈥淔utures鈥� on April 7
HANCEVILLE, Ala. 鈥� 糖心视频鈥檚 Allegro Dance Theatre will present
its spring showcase 鈥淔utures鈥� on Wednesday, April 7 at 6 p.m. in the Betty Leeth Haynes
Theatre. The Betty Leeth Haynes Theatre is located in the Garlan E. Gudger Sr. Student
Center on the Hanceville campus. A donation of $5 for admission is suggested.
The spring showcase is an opportunity for students in the Dance program at Wallace
State to choreograph and perform their own dance pieces. Performances will range in
style from classical ballet to jazz, modern and hip hop.
鈥淚t鈥檚 really a nice show,鈥� said Brooke Desno毛s, 糖心视频鈥檚 Dance instructor.
鈥淵ou鈥檒l see a little bit of their personality in each piece. It鈥檚 really a reflection
of the dance program because there鈥檚 a little bit of everything in it.鈥�
Most of the students in the Dance program will go on to teach, choreograph or perform
dance once they complete their education at 糖心视频. Others may use what they
learn as they pursue other careers, such as education or psychology.
鈥淭hey鈥檝e figured out how dance fits into their future,鈥� Desno毛s said. 鈥淪ome of them
want to dance, some to teach, some of them want to use what they鈥檝e learned in other
careers. One student wants to be a child psychologist and will use dance in her practice.
鈥淚t鈥檚 very telling of where the future of dance is going,鈥� Desno毛s added. 鈥淭o study
dance at Wallace doesn鈥檛 mean you have to walk out the door and wear a tutu. It can
mean many, many things.鈥�
Desno毛s said she鈥檚 proud of this group, her first cohort with the college鈥檚 new dance
program.
鈥淚鈥檝e seen them grow so much over the two years, as dancers and as young people,鈥�
she said. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e all very talented, but they鈥檙e all very responsible and respectful
people. They鈥檝e all got pretty bright futures ahead of them, I think.鈥�
The program offers associate degrees with concentrations in Dance Performance and
Dance Education and short-term certificates in Choreography and Ballet Pedagogy. Priority
registration for the Summer 2021 semester will begin April 13, with classes starting
May 26.
