Every semester, dance classes and dance groups attend performances by professional dance companies, and often a professional dance company performs on the college convocation series. Each year the Modern Dance Troupe hosts guest artists who teach classes and stage works for the Kinetic Expressions concert. The Country Dancers tour regionally, nationally, and internationally.
