Each year, the company—over a five-month rehearsal period—creates an impressive display of student artistry. Not simply a dance recital, the show revolves around an overall theme that explores ideas and issues from a unique perspective—it is through the conduit of movement that the dancers are able to tell stories, share important messages, and overall, offer something much greater than entertainment to their audiences. 

​

Dance in Flight 2017 was inspired by true events and real social movements of the 1960s.  It was an expression of the students' call for justice and their hope for a future without fear or oppression.  In all, the performance sought to unite our hearts in empathy and rally around the notion of cherishing the dignity of the individual.
