Last year everyone thought that the UAA dance program was done. Jill Flanders Crosby put on a final show at the Anchorage Museum in April 2023 prior to retiring. But the response from the community and support from the Atwood Foundation brought the dance minor back to life. Now, term assistant professor of dance and UAA Alumni, Katie O'Loughlin, has returned to Alaska to lead the dance minor after earning a MFA in Dance from Ohio State University in 2023. Currently the dance program has an upcoming performance in conjunction with Pulse Dance Company in April.
