"This year we are presenting two programs, the first time this has been done in the company’s history," said Program Director Shani Robison. "The diversity of both programs has really challenged the dancers this year to be adept at both classical and contemporary work. It is always my pleasure to work with these dancers as they learn, grow and push themselves in ways that perhaps they haven’t previous to coming to BYU."
