Spring Showcase with the Utah State University Dance Company

Utah State University Dance Company presents its year-end Spring Showcase — the final concert of the academic year — at the Ellen Eccles Theatre Saturday, April 9, at 7 p.m.

“Let’s Dance” features the company’s 28 student members in 18 numbers in a variety of styles, including contemporary, hip hop and jazz.

One of the dances has been choreographed by Logan resident Fiona Katrine, a Juilliard graduate in modern dance, who also taught the company fall semester in ballet and technique classes.

All other dances have been choreographed by members of the company.

The April 9 performance will reflect the growth of the company, now in its ninth year.

The USU Dance Company is a student-run performing group organized in 2008 by then-director Krissy Fry, to provide a creative outlet for several talented dancers on campus. It has evolved from the Full Circle and Vilociti groups into its current form and is supported by USU’s Caine College of the Arts.

The company performs at campus events and conducts fundraisers during the school year, the largest of which is this year-end concert. Members also serve on the staff and as judges at the annual Utah Dance Fest event.

Officers are President Ginger Hislop, Vice President Lindsey Kossin and Treasurer Alex Anderson.

Tickets are available at the Ellen Eccles Box Office or online. Those attending are encouraged to purchase tickets early as all seats are reserved. Tickets are $7 for USU students and children 3-13 and $10 for all others.
