Directed by Rebecca Moyer and Jennifer Weaver, "Dance Soup" promises a vibrant mix of senior solos and group performances across various genres, including modern, jazz, contemporary, and ballet. "The audience can expect a diverse array of music and themes that will keep them fully engaged," Weaver explains. "Students have dedicated considerable time to developing their concepts and exploring the creative process behind their dances."

Dance Soup offers students a chance to apply the skills they've gained in Improvisation and Dance Composition classes. Many start developing their ideas during the summer before the school year begins in September. This process involves submitting proposals for faculty approval, auditioning peers, and participating in rehearsals and mentoring sessions with faculty, all of which help students enhance their leadership and choreographic abilities. "Students also experience the critique process during this journey," notes Weaver. "We provide them with the freedom to explore the entire realm of dance, allowing them to express their unique voices and specialties."

When asked about the name "Dance Soup," Weaver explains, "Much like soup is crafted from a variety of ingredients, this concert brings together diverse elements that blend beautifully to create an engaging performance that is sure to warm the audience's hearts."
