As the culminating dance performance of the school year, the concert features the creativity of dance faculty, students, and special guests in a variety of styles. This spring, the Dance program hosts a special international residency with renowned dancer Hsin-Yu Kao through the Taipei Artist Village. Mr. Hsin-Yu Kao will begin his residency at CSU March 23 working with dance classes and choreographing for the Spring Dance Concert on April 10 & 11.
