ΜμΡΔΙηΗψΉΩΝψ Dance Coordinator Dance Danika Bielek says this unique college visit is a great experience for teens of all ages who enjoy dancing.

β€œOur Dance Day is an event I really look forward to,” she said. β€œIt’s such a great positive experience to get the dance community together and share what dancing in college is really like. Dance studio instructors are also welcome to join us as well. We are inviting all dancers to spend the day with us in our excellent dance studio to engage in doing something they enjoy and get a free lunch. You just can’t beat that.”
