Spring Dance Concert
Galloway, N.J. — Every year, Stockton University’s Dance program performs a repertoire from notable choreographers that challenges student performers and entertains audiences. This year, the Spring Dance Concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. from Thursday, Feb. 26 to Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, in the Performing Arts Center.
Mark Caserta, artistic director of BigKid Dance, and Swarthmore College’s Chandra Moss-Thorne will join Stockton resident choreographers Beau Hancock, Caitlin Quinn Pittenger and Lauren Putty White.
Caserta is a Princess Grace Award recipient and a former Complexions Contemporary Dance company member. BigKid Dance was the Stockton Dance program’s Company Residency artists in 2025 and presents a challenging new work of thought-provoking contemporary dance from a queer lens.
Moss-Thorne, a former Dance Theatre of Harlem dancer, will debut choreography that highlights her unique perspective on contemporary ballet. She’s Stockton’s 2026 guest-artist-ini-residence.
This concert will also include the work of senior Dance Studio Operations major Shanna Landestoy from Clifton. Landestoy’s work “Beneath the Mask”was adjudicated by Stockton Dance Faculty and premiered at the 2025 Fall Choreography Project.
“Having my work presented in the Spring Dance Concert is a testament to the amount of support I have received from my professors in my time at Stockton. As an emerging choreographer, my professors have played an essential role in helping me discover my voice and embrace the importance of asking questions," Landestoy said.
