Performance Opportunities
The Dance Department presents four concerts each year: Winterdances and Summerdances, which showcase the work of faculty and guest artists, performed by students; and New Dancemakers and Dancemakers, which feature choreography by undergraduate and graduate students, respectively.

Guest Artists
Special workshops and residencies are scheduled throughout the academic year. These events are intended to provide students with opportunities to train with well-known guest artists and emerging choreographers. Included in these residencies are performances, technique and repertory classes which provide opportunities to learn excerpts from both renowned and experimental choreographers’ works. Past guest artists include Lucas Crandall, Heidi Latsky, Ben Munisteri, Barbara Grubel, Edissa Weeks, and Laura Simms.

2007 MFA guest artists were:
Barbara Grubel, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater;
Bill Young, Bill Young & Dancers;
Allyson Green, Allyson Green Dance and San Diego State University;
Ellen Bromberg, University of Utah;
K.J. Holmes, New York University

Terpsichorean People
Our student organization promotes the activities of the Department. Through T-shirt sales, concessions at all performances, and advocacy for resources from the UWM student government, Terpsichorean People enhances the student experience by providing support for production activities, travel opportunities, and guest artist fees.
