American College Dance Festival - March 18-22, 2009

We will travel to Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota for the North Central Region Conference.

Every year Beloit dance students and faculty travel to the American College Dance Festival Association's regional conference. Past conferences have been in various cities in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. At the conference students and faculty attend classes for 4 days and perform in adjudicated concerts as well as informal performances.

Dances choreographed by Beloit College students and faculty have been repeatedly selected for the gala concert at the end of the conference. In 2004 Get in the Ring choreographed by Beloit senior Allisa-Zee Hartmann '04 was also chosen as an alternate for the national conference. Faculty choreographer Chris Johnson had her pieces, Held/Accountable (2005) and Holding Patterns (2003) selected for the gala and in 2001 Sunken Flight, choreographed by Beloit senior Heather Budd '01, was selected from over 50 works to be performed in the gala performance at the Krannert Center.
