American College Dance Festival

Seven ACC Dance Students attended the American College Dance Festival hosted by Texas A&M University in College Station. Students were able to take classes in a variety of areas such as Dance for Camera, Choreography, Partnering, Technique, Hip Hop and Pilates, as well as attend performances by other participating universities and community colleges. ACC students also performed in two dances: Faculty Member Darla Johnson presented The Scent of Maiden’s Blush, and choreography student Christina Houle presented Sushi Paws.
