MTSU Dance Theatre

MTSU Dance Theatre provides an exciting vehicle for performance experiences at Middle Tennessee State University. Company members perform in faculty choreography, adjudicated student compositions and repertory works set by distinguished guest artists in workshops and residencies.

Membership in MTSU Dance Theatre is by audition only. Audition are held at the beginning of the fall semester and the end of the fall semester for the spring term. Students performing in the Fall Dance Concert must audition again at the end of the semester if they would like to perform in the Spring Dance Concert. Company members include both MTSU undergraduate and graduate students.

The MTSU Dance Theatre provides opportunities for audiences to see high-quality performances of ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance. The MTSU Dance Theatre performs on campus in the Tucker Theatre in the Boutwell Dramatic Arts building. MTSU Dance Theatre company members participate annually in the American College Dance Festival. The MTSU Dance Theatre was founded in 2005. The students have attended four ACDFA conferences, and have had the wonderful opportunity to perform in two distinguished Gala Concerts at the festival. Additionally, students have performed in various venues throughout the region. Past performance opportunities have included the Tennessee Governor's School for the Arts, Shelter Repertory Dance Theatre and at Vanderbilt University.

To maintain good standing, all company members must be enrolled in technique classes and attend weekly scheduled company classes.
