Dance
Dance Ensemble
The Dance Program at Grand Valley State University offers students many opportunities to perform.
In addition to classes, workshops, informal showings, and student choreography concerts, dance students have the opportunity to perform with the GVSU Dance Ensemble. The Dance Ensemble performs the works of faculty and guest artists, along with select student works, in two annual mainstage performances. These concerts are held in the Louis Armstrong Theatre on the Allendale campus of GVSU. Look under "Upcoming Events" on the Home Page of this site for current performances we are working on.
