This year, 22 students, one alumna, and two faculty have created works in ballet, clogging, hip-hop, jazz, modern and dance for the camera. The senior class will perform a collaborative work and the freshman class will perform under the direction of faculty member Carol Finley.

The weekend is organized into Program A for emerging artists including student artists in their first year of choreography at Meredith plus the freshmen class dance, and Program B for mainstage artists including veteran student choreographers plus work from alumna Brenda Burton and faculty member Talani Torres.
