Barton Community College’s Dance Department invites all dance students aged 13-19 years to be a college dance student for a day from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 24 on the Barton campus.
The schedule includes classes in dance technique, choreography class, audition tips, being part of a Barton Dance Theatre rehearsal, viewing a Barton Dance Team practice and having lunch with Barton’s current dance students. There will also be an opportunity for visiting high school seniors to audition for dance scholarships for fall 2022.
Barton Dance Coordinator Dance Danika Bielek says this unique college visit is a great experience for teens of all ages who enjoy dancing.
“Our Dance Day is an event I really look forward to,” she said. “It’s such a great positive experience to get the dance community together and share what dancing in college is really like. Dance studio instructors are also welcome to join us as well. We are inviting all dancers to spend the day with us in our excellent dance studio to engage in doing something they enjoy and get a free lunch. You just can’t beat that.”
