Katie and Karen were funny and personable in their roles as MCs and were instrumental in putting the successful event together. Kayla Premeau was also recognize as a force behind the event and all that goes on in the dance department! Bravo to all who came and made the event a success!
We started the evening with some alumni updates from all around the country... a lot of insights there!
The seniors put on a very funny skit using faculty idiosyncrasies as a backdrop for a dysfunctional faculty meeting... (see video below :)
Some pictures and videos were presented to great hooplah...
Some mock awards were handed out. (see list below)
And Finally Ed Burgess, Chair of the Dance Department announced the pieces from New Dancemakers who would be representing the Dance Department at the Regional ACDF at Saint-Olaf later in the Spring semester: Mary-Elizabeth Fenn's "It's not about Her" with dancers: Molly Mingey, Bonnie Watson, Megan Burki, Kimberly Rhyme, and Brenna Marlin. And Molly Mingey's "Excuse Me?" with dancers: Hilary Anderson, Annette Grefig, Jose Luis, and Nadia Marie Whitley. An alternate piece was also chosen in case with "A Round About Way, to Show You Today, This Little Dance" by Lindsey Krygowski with dancers: Olivia Gonzales and Tasha Holifield.
