As we begin the new academic year, we are so grateful that we can support live performance, that we have an administration who appreciates the arts, and that we can explore the best means of educating our students. In other words, while we may be isolated in West Texas, we truly introduce our students to best practices the world over.
This academic year brings new faces to our program. Not only have we welcomed a wonderful, new cohort of incoming students to the dance program from Texas, California, and Mexico, but we also welcomed new dance faculty and instructors.
This past summer, Bailey Patterson (MFA Performance & Pedagogy, Maddie Hiatt (MFA Performance & Pedagogy), and Mary Lantz (BFA Musical Theatre) were awarded trips to Washington D.C. in recognition of their success at KCACTF’s national festival.
