The dance program recently staged its final production of the semester, "DanceTech: Dream" in the Maedgen Theatre. With artistic direction by Professor Anthony Denaro, the production featured choreography by our dance faculty alongside guest artists David Olarte and Carla León, Arizona’s foremost salsa dance teachers, and award-winning choreographer/performance artist, Helanius J. Wilkins.
For decades, Tony “YNOT” Denaro has been a driving force in hip-hop, breaking, and cultural exchange. As an assistant professor of practice serving dance in Texas Tech’s School of Theatre and Dance, he has a passion for the art form which has taken him across continents, teaching and learning from communities worldwide.
Having graced the stage at TTU so many times, most would assume Adam Garcia is a BFA student. Instead, he is pursuing a BA in Theatre Arts with a minor in Dramatic Writing because he has an appreciation, and talent, for several areas of theatre.
The School of Theatre & Dance holds one College Day each semester, the most recent on February 17, 2025. College Day allows prospective students to shadow the life of a college student for a day, and to experience firsthand the students, faculty and programs.
