Troy University’s Department of Theatre and Dance will present its Fall Dance show from Nov. 13 through Nov. 18 in the Long Hall Dance Studio.

About 70 students in total will participate in the 15 performance pieces, which take place at 7 p.m. Nov. 13-17 and at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 18.

“This student choreographed performance series is an eclectic mix of styles and cultures, from heels to hip hop and ballet to ballroom, and offers a dynamic and thrilling audience experience of dance in the 21st century,” said Dominique Angel, a dance lecturer.

Fall DanceThe Fall Dance pieces include music from artists such as Michael Jackson, Beyonce and Apocalyptica.

“These are fun dances by cool people. The next time you’ll get to see some of these choreographers’ works or some these dancers perform, you’ll be paying hundreds of dollars since they’ll either be backing up Beyoncé or choreographing for her,” said Dante Puleio, assistant professor of contemporary dance. “So catch them while you can, opportunities like this don’t come around often!”

Tickets for the Fall Dance are $5 and can be purchased at the Trojan Center Box Office or online at www.troytheatre.org. For more information, call 334-808-6477.
