EIU Dancers to Give Three Performances of Spring Concert

The Eastern Illinois University Dancers will perform to music by Janet Jackson, Pat Benatar, OneRepublic and the "Glee" cast in their annual spring concert this week.

The free performances, with the theme "The Heart Speaks," are set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday (March 3-5) in the Doudna Fine Arts Center's Theatre. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Comprised of 16 EIU students with various majors, the EIU Dancers’ repertoire includes modern dance, ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, and character pieces. Auditions are held in September, and rehearsals start immediately for the spring concert.

A presence on EIU’s campus for the last 30 years, the EIU Dancers are dedicated to furthering the understanding and appreciation of dance on campus and in the surrounding community.
