2025年的高级舞蹈班在寒假期间在纽约、洛杉矶和拉斯维加斯度过了难以置信的、千载难逢的经历。 Eleven senior dancers traveled to New York City from Dec. 14, through Dec. 20, and took classes from several teachers throughout the city and saw shows like 艾尔文·艾利美国舞蹈剧院, “回到未来,” “日落大街。” and the “无线电城圣诞汇演.” 最引人注目的经历是与格蕾丝公主奖得主马利克·华盛顿和百老汇演员Jōvan丹斯伯里一起上私人大师班。

Eleven senior dancers traveled to Los Angeles and Las Vegas from Jan. 2 to Jan. 12, and took classes from several notable Los Angeles teachers including a private masterclass with Taylor Swift dancer Natalie Lecz and a private aerial class in Las Vegas with Cirque du Soleil’s performer in “O,” Sarah Sporich. 高年级学生还有机会观看了《O》的表演，他们还得到了来自斯波里奇的私人后台参观。 同样在拉斯维加斯，高年级学生与15岁的Aubrey Lawrence（舞蹈艺术学士，英语艺术学士）和18岁的Courtney Friedersdorf（舞蹈艺术学士）一起度过了一段时间，了解了在拉斯维加斯生活和工作的生活，获得了宝贵的生活建议，建立了关系网，建立了联系。

These senior development trips were made possible by student fundraising and the curation of Auxiliary Adjunct Assistant Professor of 跳舞 Tiffanie卡森, M.F.A. If you’d like to donate to continue to support future trips, please visit the 老年舞蹈捐赠页面.
