Rebecca VanVoorhis performs in YSU Dance Ensemble concert

2015 Apr 9

Rebecca VanVoorhis of North Canton, Ohio, will perform in the Youngstown State University Dance Ensemble's 24th annual spring concert later this month.

VanVoorhis is a Junior at YSU, studying Middle Childhood Language Arts.

The concert is Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 16, 17 and 18 in Bliss Hall's Ford Theater on the YSU campus. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Tickets available at the door or at www.ysu.tix.com.

The YSU Dance Ensemble, a sanctioned YSU student organization, accepts members via an audition process in the Fall semester. Members practice weekly. "The students who audition and are accepted into the YSU Dance Ensemble put countless hours into practicing their discipline," Cobb said. "They also learn the basics of running a student organization since they must elect officers and participate in activities. The spring concert is the culmination of their year-long efforts." Many of the students' works are choreographed by students in the bachelor of arts in Dance Management major in the Department of Theater and Dance.
