Fine Arts at UA

Transcript

The University of Akron prides itself on its role in the local arts community and next up we’ll hear from Larry, a dance major who’s gonna tell us his experience as a fine arts major. Whether you wanna study dance, music, or the visual arts, Akron’s programs provide excellence in teaching and experiences to build confidence in your craft. Let’s hear from Larry.

– Thank you, it’s great to be here, Alex. When choosing the right college I started to look around and fell in love with the University of Akron. Attending college can lead you to many different adventures and being involved to depend solely on putting yourself out there. I quickly joined the dance program and with the help of the other dancers I learned the ropes and saw what Akron has to offer. From Robs Dining Hall to various events around campus, there’s plenty to get involved in here on campus. Within the dance program I was able to join the Terpsichore Dance Club, where I got the chance to become closer with my fellow dancers and put on shows for the community, along with showcasing some of our dynamic student choreography. While attending Akron I was able to perform in a commercial. Being able to represent the University of Akron was a fulfilling opportunity. Being one of the only schools in the country with a national center for choreography, provide some classes with a chance to work with national choreographers around the world. Seeing how many chances were presented to me to become involved more with Akron’s dance program was astounding and only set me up to be excited for more events to come my way. Alex, take us back.

– With all that Akron has to offer its dance students, I’m sure I’ll see you on Broadway someday soon, Larry. Thank you for that. With creative faculty, stellar art, music and dance schools and a performing arts hall that features internationally known artists, Akron is leading a new era of art and culture for the region and beyond.
