High school students in grades 9-12 are invited to explore dance in a college environment at this free dance event hosted by The Jeanine Larson Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance.

Students will experience a day devoted entirely to dance during which they will learn new movement and ideas, meet new people, witness creativity and learn why dance is a vital part of any education.

The event will begin at 10 a.m. at the River Campus. Students will have the opportunity to tour the River Campus and speak with faculty and Southeast students. Participants will also receive two complimentary tickets to the Fall for Dance 2021 concert scheduled for Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall. 

Students and their families are encouraged to register for Dance Day. 

High school seniors are also invited to attend the Conservatory BA Dance Scholarship Auditions at 2:15 p.m.
