Follow the dancers of University of South Carolina’s Dance Company as they prepare for the 2024 contemporary concert, premiering February 8th in Dayton Hall Theater. Getting a show ready for stage takes a lot more work than most see. The dancers put in long hours at the studio taking technique classes and learning choreography. They then head to the theater for tech and final dress rehearsals in order to perform their best on opening night.
Featured dancers: Mary Catherine Mathews. Lainey Reel, Ana Sofia Kock, Mikayla Radermacher, Rain Hicks, Laura Anne Kay, Amy Brooks, Daniel Hare, T.J. Warren, Megan Kelly
