A Typical Year at Bates

A week before regular classes begin, the returning dance students often begin rehearsals with a visiting guest choreographer to prepare for a twenty-minute program for the First-Year Student Orientation Program. The Parents and Families Weekend concert includes new works in progress by guest artists and students and finished pieces from earlier in the semester or the previous year. The Fall Concert of Professional Works consists of new works by guest professional choreographers and faculty, performed by the Bates College Modern Dance Company.
