BEREA, OH – The Department of

stage. Choreographers receive feedback from area dance professionals and
audience, to encourage them to return to the studio to edit and improve their
work.

artists include NE Ohio based dance-maker and arts educator, Megan Pitcher
Young who serves as the BW Dance Program’s critic-in-residence, and Professor
Jordan Saul conducting the BW Treble Choir. Choreographers showing work for the
