Tap dancer Savion Glover, who recently performed on campus, leads a master class with »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ students at Guzzetta Recital Hall.


The University of Akron Dance Company (»ÆÉ«Ö±²¥DC) presents its Fall 2012 Dance Concert Nov. 15-17 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. at Paul A. Daum Theatre in Kolbe Hall, 328 Buchtel Common on campus.

The diverse program features modern dance set to the music of Chick Corea, classical ballet with a piano score by composer Jean Francaix, a multimedia presentation of a site-specific dance piece titled "Stream," and neo-classical ballet with dancers en pointe to music by Yann Tiersen.

The choreographers include »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ dance faculty members Robin Prichard, Tom Smith, Cydney Spohn and Kara Stewart, as well as »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ student Joy Gross, whose piece was chosen by faculty as an example of outstanding emerging talent from this year's »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ Choreographers’ Workshop.

Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for seniors and »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ faculty and staff, and $6 for students. The ticket office opens one hour before each performance. A group discount is available in advance for 10 or more patrons. For additional information and reservations, call 330-972-7895.
