Dance at Stockton - Dance Company Residency & Guest Artists
Fall Dance Company Residency
Starr Foster Dance
Oct. 8-19, 2018
For two weeks in the fall, Stockton hosts a professional dance company. This company teaches classes, choreographs a work on dance students, and performs in the PAC at the end of their residency.
The Dance Company Residency, which is in its sixth year, engages with Stockton students
and with the community around Stockton. Through classes for dance students, students
in general studies courses, and open classes, the resident company teaches movement
and discusses what it is to be an artist in today’s world. We hope you will take
the chance to connect with our resident company, Starr Foster Dance, and then come to see them perform in the PAC on Friday, Oct. 19th!
