Fresh Sesh is the freshman, Class of 2029’s, Spring semester showcase. All works are choreographed and performed by the freshman class. The chemistry and friendships that have so quickly formed are evident as not only the dancers moved together in the pieces but as they transitioned from piece to piece, flowing from one work of art to another, giving from their own to each other.

And that’s a wrap, eleven cities on the tour of his life. As a Season XI Collective member he traveled the country, trained with some of the best in the industry, met hundreds of dancers and inspired many, learned how to work behind the scenes and on the stage, made mistakes and navigated the corrections, dealt with disappointment, experienced what good workplace culture can be, and in the words of Erica Sobol “Created space for others to shine.”
