SPIKE in Cincinnati

Jan Van Dyke invited her Wayne State University cast of SPIKE to Cincinnati for the Choreographers' Festival 2008, celebrating 35 years of modern dance in the city. This experience provided Martha Dobbs, Tiffany Janeway, Kate Vincek, and Renee Westervelt continued experience in the world of professional modern dance. Congratulations!

Get Dance NYC!

Call it an immersive experience in dance--after the junior year, select dance majors have the opportunity to participate in GetDance NYC, attending classes, rehearsals, shows, and socializing with working professionals as they plan for future careers in dance.
