UWW\u00a0DanceScapes\u00a0is a dynamic dance production through the UW-Whitewater Theatre and Dance Department, directed by Eric Appleton. Open to both students and community members,\u00a0DanceScapes\u00a0invites anyone with an interest in movement to audition.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0more than just a\u00a0performance;\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a space where dancers can explore,\u00a0create,\u00a0and grow in a supportive, welcoming environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most exciting aspects of\u00a0DanceScapes\u00a0is its inclusivity. The cast is made up of dancers of all experience levels, from those with years of studio training to those stepping into a dance studio for the very first time. No matter your background,\u00a0DanceScapes\u00a0encourages you to take that leap and try something new.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DanceScapes\u00a0is designed to be flexible, allowing dancers to shape their own experience. Performers can\u00a0participate\u00a0in up to four pieces, with each piece rehearsing about three hours per week. Whether you want to fully immerse yourself or just dip your toes in, the level of commitment is entirely up to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s\u00a0not uncommon\u00a0for first-time dancers to join\u00a0DanceScapes\u00a0and quickly fall in love with it. The environment is encouraging and low-pressure, making it an ideal place to step outside your comfort zone and discover a new passion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Auditions take place early in the fall semester, typically in late September or early October. Dancers learn a few short combinations so choreographers can get a sense of their movement style and strengths. After auditions, dancers may be invited to join specific pieces and can choose whether to\u00a0accept.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a dancer? You can still be part of the experience. Attend a performance and support local artists while enjoying an evening of creativity and expression. There are also opportunities to get involved behind the scenes on\u00a0the crew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
