Dance Happening

University of Tampa's Dance Happening performance is a unique experience, both for the dancers and choreographers but also for the audience. I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated. Students of all different kinds of dance backgrounds were able to participate, which I think made the show advance to a more personal level. Every one that was in the audience attended to show their support for UT and for their friends and family. Before each piece, the name of the choreographer was announced and the meaning behind the piece was explained. I think it helped a lot to hear what the piece meant to the choreographer and helped the audience keep an open mind, especially with some of the unconventional pieces. Obviously, some of the dancers did not have any dance training, but I think the choreographers did a fantastic job tailoring their movements to fit each individuals abilities. Over all, Dance Happening was a high energy packed performance, and you could see the love of dance expressed through everyone involved. I definitely want to be apart of this experience next time.
