A mix between original choreography and famous restaged works, the Gala will perform a myriad of different pieces.
Co-director Brent Schneider, a professor at the School of Dance, said: “Each piece is wildly different and specific to the choreographer and the dancers.”
The Gala presents a new perspective to the dance atmosphere at the University of Utah by combining two highly creative and talented, albeit vastly different programs.
