The class is taught by term assistant professor of dance Katie O’Loughlin. Students are working towards a performance in April. 

UAA will be offering more dance classes in the fall, Contemporary Modern I & II, Core Strength and Flexibility and Advanced Practicum: Performance. The schedule is available to view now on UAOnline and open registration starts on April 8.
