Now in it’s sixth year, the 60-credit MFA offers students an opportunity to immerse themselves for six weeks in the legendary international community of the ADF, followed by an intimate learning atmosphere at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. Few graduate programs can provide students with a wide range of experiences, opportunities, and imaginative approaches to thinking about dance. CyberDance was able to capture an MFA showing earlier this summer. Be sure to catch the last two MFA performances of the summer at the Reynolds Industries Theater, July 23-24.
