Chair of the theatre and the dance department Gretchen Cohenour, show adviser, explained, "The students put the show together themselves."

Students have been preparing for this show since the beginning of the school year. Three seniors lead the show’s direction — Shannon Passaglia, Meghan Goff and James English.

Since some seniors this year will be graduating in December, they are hosting a farewell dance recital in the fall. There will be another dance recital in the spring as there traditionally is, for those who will be graduating at the end of the year.

The show contains about eight dances with approximately

10 people involved. It will consist of dances of an arrangement of types, decided by each dancer’s strengths. Some examples include ballet, hip-hop, ballroom, musical, jazz and lyrical-modern pieces.

Collages put together by Passaglia, Goff and English will be open to view at the show. They contain pictures and newspaper clippings representing the last four years and will be in the lobby for the audience to view. The three will have their own biographies displayed for the show as well.

The show is for senior dance minors or anyone involved with dance.

Goff’s advice to underclassmen interested in dance is to "try out for anything and everything.

There are postings for all the different types of shows around campus and on the back bulletin board of the PAC.

The purpose of the show is to reach out to as many people as possible and to show them what the WSU dance program does.

"There’s nothing like having an audience," Goff said.

The students in shows such as this dance recital and Dancescape use the tapings from the shows for their portfolios.

All of the past tapes are being held in the Media Services in the basement of Howell Hall. They are available to students interested in viewing them.

"(Dance) has been an outlet for me to express myself. When I’ve been frustrated it’s been a way to relax," said English, who will be graduating next fall.
