Dance Happening Returns to UT Campus

Spring has sprung with the popular Student Dance Happening at The University of Tampa. A crowd favorite at UT, the Dance Happening will run nightly at 8 p.m. from Wednesday, April 30 to Saturday, May 3.

The opening portion of the “traveling” dance program will take place inside the Edison Building at 214 N. Boulevard, and the remainder will take place outside. The performance will end on the verandah of Plant Hall. Student guides will lead audience members across campus.

Presented by the Department of Speech, Theatre, and Dance, the Student Dance Happening features popular music and the talents of students from all sectors of the University community. Choreography features new work by 14 UT students and five alumni. Dance styles will include hip hop, modern, tap, musical theatre, lyrical, and jazz, with more than 80 students participating. The UT Dance Team also will perform.

“The Dance Happening is simply one of the most unique and exciting performance events you'll experience on a University campus," said Susan Taylor Lennon, director of the UT Dance Program.

The UT Dance Happening offers something for everyone — don’t miss this unique “traveling” dance performance. The event is free, but seating in the Edison Building for the indoor portion of the program is extremely limited. For more information, call (813) 257-3745.
