The 舞 is the performing outlet for students of the dance division at Shenandoah Conservatory. The ensemble performs extensively on campus and in a wide variety of nationally recognized venues. Previous engagements have included the elaborate Viennese 歌剧 Ball hosted by the Austrian Embassy, many concerts at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., the Giordano International Jazz 跳舞 World Congress, as well as the 92nd Street “Y” in New York City and other major venues and showcases. Members of the ensemble have performed overseas in England, 苏格兰, 俄罗斯, 西班牙, 爱尔兰, 马其顿, 希腊和台湾. The 系综 has received two 跳舞/USA grants to re-stage masterworks by internationally acclaimed artists Murray Louis & Alwin Nikolais, and had the honor of performing these works in six states. The commission of new musical scores and live musical accompaniment plays a vital role for the 舞, creating a more rich experience for their audiences while fostering collaborative exchanges among artists.

These professional engagements may take place in the summer months, or in special performance tours during the school year. Recent engagements have included performances at the New York Jazz Choreography Project for choreographer Bob Boross and premieres of new repertoire by 莫里斯·弗拉格 at Philadelphia’s Performance Garage.
