NW’s dance company, the Mosaic Dance Project, and the fall technique classes will present Fall into Dance 1-3 p.m. Dec. 10 in WSTU 1303 and 1305.

The students will perform modern jazz, ballet, hip-hop, ballroom dance and musical theater selections. This is the 11th year NW Campus has held the informal concert and, according to Amy Sleigh, NW dance associate professor, the students have been preparing heavily despite the upcoming holiday season.

“The students are rehearsing during their class periods, and [rehearsals were] upped through the week of Thanksgiving and then the week after,” she said. “Then the NW Dance Company and Mosaic [meet again] on alternating days of the week.”

TCC students and guests are invited to support the students in the NW dance program as well as find out more about upcoming classes being offered on campus.

Admission is $1. For more information, contact Sleigh at 817-515-7174.
