ACDA 2026 recap! 🩰🌟🪩 Our program had the opportunity and privilege to spend 5 fun days in Minneapolis, MN! We had a fun time connecting with peers, taking classes from amazing artists, and being inspired by all the amazing work we saw! We had the honor to bring 3 pieces to the conference. The pieces shown are as follows:

🌟 Undergraduate student Meg Brady presented her work titled “Impressionism” for adjudication.

🌟 Undergraduate student Talia Markussen presented her work titled “Within Arms Reach” for adjudication.

🌟 Undergraduate student Sierra (SJ) Eschliman .eschliman presented her work titled “Impending” for informal.

We are so proud of all of our dancers, choreographers and faculty for their hard work. Thank you to  for hosting and  for a wonderful time!
