If you enjoyed UMD’s Bare Bones production this fall, make it a point to attend Attitudes Dance, held in Weber Music Hall Thursday, May 1 through Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. However, if you were unable to attend Bare Bones in the fall, Attitudes Dance is still a wonderful opportunity for you to experience the skills of UMD students that you may have previously missed out on.
Attitudes Dance is a student run organization that allows dancers to stay involved with the art form throughout college. It also allows students to both learn and choreograph dances, consisting of many styles including jazz, hip-hop, tap and lyrical.
Attitudes Dance encompasses many levels of dancers, as some participants are beginners and others are experienced. With auditions held in the fall, everyone who conveys an interest in participating is welcome to perform in the production.
“I think that overall the coolest thing about Attitudes is that everyone who auditions gets an opportunity to be in our show,” said Attitudes Dance President Amanda Schuster. “We have some dancers who have been dancing since they were 2 and others who just started this year, which makes our group pretty diverse.”
The members of Attitudes Dance have been working throughout the year toward their production in hopes of growing as dancers and pleasing the crowd. New to this year’s production is tango and can-can, which have been projected to be a big hit with the audience.
“I think that the crowd will love both the tango and can-can pieces,” said Schuster. “They are so fun to watch.”
With three chances (an additional performance has been added this year due to last year’s success) to attend Attitudes Dance, why not support your fellow students and have an enjoyable night?
