Please join us for an orientation meeting on Monday, August 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Annex Building, Room 22.  

The YPAS dance department has chosen a winner for the alumni choreographer competition.  1999 YPAS Alumni, Leslie Cuyjet, will be setting a section of her work, entitled, Right as Rain, on some of our dance ensemble students for Dance Concert 2016.  Right as Rain is an upbeat modern work with Flamenco influences and serves as a depiction of young women caught in a rainstorm.  Ms. Cuyjet is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana and currently resides in New York where she is a dancer, choreographer and performance maker.  

All forms are posted on the Dance Department Website under dance documents.  Please read the Dance Department Handbook, read and sign the Handbook Acknowledgement Form, Fill out the Producers Membership Form, Fill out the JCPS Photo/Video Release Form, and Ensemble Students should read and sign the Dance Ensemble Contract.  Please bring all of these completed forms to school the first day, as well as your $100 fee, if it was not paid at registration.
