Dust off your dancing shoes for Dance Theatre Fall Concert Dec. 1-3

MURFREESBORO—Members of MTSU’s Department of Theatre and Dance are dusting off their dancing shoes to wow audiences with the Dance Theatre Fall Concert, set Dec. 1-3 in the Tucker Theatre.

Performances are set at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

This nationally recognized program, which focuses on research and creative activity by faculty and students, is bringing the fall 2011 season to a close with the Fall Concert. Performances will feature a variety of genres ranging from modern to contemporary ballet and everything in between, organizers say.

MTSU faculty, guest artists and students have all contributed to the event, and two pieces choreographed by Kim Neal Nofsinger, director of dance at MTSU, will be featured. Nofsinger’s works explore the beauty and natural instincts of migrations among animals in addition to darkening discussions relating to the holocausts and genocides.

General-admission tickets for the Dance Theatre Fall Concert are $10 for adults and $5 for children up to 12th grade, as well as $5 for MTSU staff. MTSU students will be admitted free with a valid student ID.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.mtsu.edu/tuckertheatre via the “Purchase Tickets” button on the left toolbar. They also will be available at the door before each performance.
