Additionally, ninth-year company member Lauren Curley, will be working with teens from the Winner School.
Ursula Perry, 10th-year company member, will present choreography featuring college-aged dance students from BYU and RDT's Education Associate, Austin Hardy, who will be creating new work for students attending the company's Winterdance Workshop, running January 2-4 at the Rose Wagner. Fem Dance Company, dedicated to representing and empowering women in dance, is partnering with Elle Johansen and Trung "Daniel" Do teams with Altitude Dance Company out of West Valley City.
Nicholas Cendese is once again collaborating with dance teachers from across the Salt Lake Valley. Cendese loves the opportunity to spotlight the abilities of outstanding instructors who are typically working behind the scenes to make Utah a major dance center in the nation.
EMERGE confirms RDT's commitment to nurturing choreographers who are thrilled to be working with so many talented dancers of all ages and backgrounds as a way to build and connect to our community.
