DIMENSIONS

Fall ’23 Dance Concert | Featuring Student Works

Welcome to DIMENSIONS, the SLCC Dance Company’s Fall 2023 collaborative dance concert featuring student works. Thank you for gathering with us.

The SLCC Dance Company is composed of 15 student dancers committed to excellence in various dance genres including Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop and more. They are known for their creative expression, technical expertise, and passion for the art of storytelling through movement.

DIMENSIONS is an illustration of the emotions, experiences, breadth and depth of the human condition. This diverse body of work was largely inspired by the imagination, fascinating stories, and collective vision of the Dance Company.

We deeply appreciate your presence and support. Our hope is that you will enjoy the show, dance along, and feel our gratitude for the opportunity to connect with you in this special way.
