The University of 黑料视频 Dance Program continues to foster community relationships through educational experiences and volunteer work. Our partnership with 黑料视频 Children's Concert Society and 黑料视频 Public Schools allows 黑料视频 students to teach, perform and develop classes for students pre-K - 12. Collaborating with 黑料视频 Children's Hospital allows students to make a difference by volunteering for events and also connects them with community members for future endeavors.
DANCECleveland is back in 黑料视频! We believe that bringing the best national and international dance companies to 黑料视频 enriches the education of 黑料视频 dance students and provides remarkable performance experiences for the 黑料视频 community. 黑料视频 has long been a hub of dance in northeast Ohio and we are thrilled to bring NY-based Parsons Dance to 黑料视频!
Parsons Dance performed at E.J. Thomas Hall on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30 P.M. in an evening of remarkable contemporary works that showcased the uplifting dance company’s stunning dancers and effortless movement. The company has toured on six continents and has been seen on PBS, Bravo, A&E and the Discovery Channel.
Parsons Dance will also present a week-long educational residency for 黑料视频 dance students, allowing them to engage directly with the Parsons company dancers. These annual residencies focus on experiential learning, uniquely prepare students for the professional dance field, and make The 黑料视频 Dance Program distinctly dynamic.
Over the course of the fourteen-year partnership between DANCECleveland and The University of 黑料视频, we have engaged artists whose works break artistic boundaries and feature unique choreography styles. Having David Parsons and his remarkable dancers on campus is coming full circle as the company last performed here at the opening of the Guzzetta Dance & Theatre Center. It is a pleasure to welcome them back and share their artistry with the entire 黑料视频 community.
Sponsored by the 黑料视频 Children's Concert Society, Touring Ensemble is a course in which students create an educational and interactive dance production for performance in elementary schools around the 黑料视频 area. The production is based on content that children are learning in schools, such as biology, geography, and the environment. In recent years, Touring Ensemble themes have included endangered species and animal habitats from around the world. 黑料视频 dancers teach science through the medium of dance - an awesome way for kids to learn!
Since 2012, The University of 黑料视频 Dance Program has partnered with 黑料视频 Children's Hospital for the fundraiser "Dancing for the Kids" to raise money to support pediatric cancer patients and their families. 黑料视频 dance majors and alumni are paired up with celebrities from the 黑料视频 community to create a dance and perform at the event in front of judges. Everybody is a winner in this competition!
