The WTAMU Dance Ensemble has many performing opportunities including our annual fall student choreographed concert, and our annual spring concert - choreographed by faculty and guest artists. Yearly participation in American College Dance Festival allows student choreography to be presented on a national stage and juried by working professionals in the field of dance.
