Student choreography featured in SSU Fall Dance Concert

Fall Dance Concert presented Nov. 20 to Nov. 23 on main stage at Sonoma State

WHO: Sonoma State University Dept. of Theatre Arts & Dance

WHAT: “Fall Dance Concert 2014 Heart and Soul”

Always exhilarating, unexpected, professional and thoroughly entertaining - Sonoma State University dance concerts feature SSU dancers performing new, cutting edge dance works - each with a different aesthetic sensibility. The Fall Dance Concert 2014 features original student choreography and direction by Christine Cali, founder and Artistic Director of San Francisco based Cali & Co.

Student choreographed dance presentations have become so popular, there are two separate lineups for this fall dance concert. Both “Heart” and “Soul” performances are bold with expressive dancing and adventurous choreographic choices and feature a wide variety of dance styles and genres, including hip-hop, jazz, lyrical, contemporary and ballet.

The performance on Thursday, Nov. 20 will be followed by a post show discussion. Friends and Family performances are at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21 offering SSU faculty, staff and students free admission and standard, senior and visiting student admission for $5.

Guests who would like to see both “Heart” and “Soul” performances can use the promotional code - THAR50off - for 50% off a ticket order for one or more tickets.

Guests who plan on attending both the 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. shows on Friday or Saturday night can also pre-purchase a $10 LOBO’s meal deal voucher online (a $15 value), for dinner at LOBO’s in between performances.
