Dancers light up Power Center

Spanning the globe with performances of soul-altering movement, the University's dance department will present its annual modern dance concert at the Power Center this weekend. "Choreography of Geography" showcases four lengthy dances staged by prominent choreographers in the dance department. The show features a special attraction, "Changing Steps," which is an original dance work created by one of the leading modern dance choreographers in New York, Merce Cunningham.
