Dance Oregon, the University’s
dance club, is sponsoring a nine
day celebration of shakin’, jumpin’
and deep breathin’ during Nation
al Dance Week.
“Our goal is to get the communi
ty to try new dance forms or try
dance,” said Rachel Onkka, the di
rector of Dance Oregon.
The organization will kick off
National Dance Week tonight with
Glenna Blessing’s MFA concert at
8 p.m. in the Doherty Dance The
ater, and it will continue to get stu
dents and faculty moving all week
with a variety of unique work
shops scheduled for each day.
The workshops will include
Capoeira dance — an African
Brazilian martial art — African
dance, jazz, yoga dancing, hip
hop, breakdancing and a massage
workshop. Dance Oregon has
brought five instructors from the
Northwest and one from Paris for
this event.
Suzee Grilley, who is instructing
the Capoeira workshop, has toured
the world with the Nikolais Dance
Theatre and will perform in the
Oregon Cabaret Theatre’s century
closing production, “Full Circle.”
Yoga dancing will be instructed by
14-year veteran Theresa Elliott, au
thor of “Stillness in Motion: Yoga
Vinyasa.”
Students are anticipating a week
full of dance classes and learning

“I am excited to try urban style
dancing because it has to do with
the hip-hop culture and communi
ty,” said Josh Finderup, a sopho

Although the event is not annual,
Dance Oregon is hoping to create a
new tradition, Onkka said. The
workshops are for all skill levels and
are an excellent opportunity to try
something new. In order to keep the
workshops affordable, Dance Ore
gon requests a small donation of $1
to $5 per workshop, which will help
dance students raise funds to at
tend the American College Dance
Festival next year.
