Currently UAA is offering several dance courses now that the dance program is back. The Contemporary Modern Dance I is an introductory class for those looking to get into contemporary dance at UAA. 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.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
