Boise State University Summer DanceFest Choreography Festival Features Original Works

Enjoy an evening of original, innovative choreography at the Boise State University Summer DanceFest Choreography Festival at 7 p.m. June 29-30 at the Morrison Center Stage II. Tickets are $5 general, and $3 for students and seniors at the door.

The festival will be performed by participants in DanceFest, a workshop for dancers ages 12 and older who want to experience a full curriculum of ballet, jazz and modern classes taught by professional choreographers and dancers. Founded in 1990, DanceFest has become one of the most distinguished and unique dance workshops in the Northwest.

More than 30 dancers will perform original choreography by Marla Hansen, Jen Freeman, Carl Rowe, Molly Beardmore and Gonzalo Valdez. The jazz piece, choreographed by Freeman, is set to a compilation of ’80s music. A neo-classical ballet suit by Hansen will be performed to music evocative of the Elizabethan era and will feature pointe work by the women and bravura male technique. Rowe’s choreography for 10 dancers will be performed to high energy ethnic music, and Beardmore’s work for 14 dancers will feature alternative rock.
