Dance Works is a troupe of 15-20 dancers who perform ballet, modern, jazz, tap, Broadway and contemporary styles choreographed by our faculty, students and guest artists.
Dance Works prepares one large concert each year for performance in the Dillard Theatre. Upper level dance students may propose and, if approved, choreograph their own pieces for performance in the concerts.
Auditions are held at the beginning of the fall semester and are open to all students. Contact wittman_l@lynchburg.edu for more information.
Coursework:
- Intro to Dance

We present a large musical every year. Past productions have included Cabaret, Anything Goes!, Bonnie and Clyde and The Pajama Game. Main stage plays often use movement as a part of storytelling, and dancers sometimes perform in Music Department operettas and concerts.
Facilities include an up-to-date dance studio in Turner Gymnasium with a sprung wooden floor, mirrors, ballet barres and sound system.
