Dance company performs tonight at Lied Center

The University Dance Company will present its spring concert tonight at the Lied Center. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

The concert will feature choreography by Willie Lenoir, Michelle Heffner Hayes, Joan Stones and Jerel Hilding. It will also feature a performance of Twyla Tharp’s “The Fugue,” a guest choreography piece from when a choreographer came and worked with the dance company earlier this semester.

The members of the dance company have spent more than six weeks preparing for this performance.

“It’s an academic program, but it’s also an organization,” said Stephanie Taylor, Lenexa junior and member of the dance company. “Having support from fellow students would be beneficial for us just promoting our program and furthering our passion.”

Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and seniors. Tickets can be ordered by calling 785-864-2787 or by visiting www.lied.ku.edu.
