Being flexible, working hard, having fun and looking forward to the
summer dance concert are just a few things that
come to mind for students participating in th
is
year’s Cleveland State University summer

tai chi. These classes will be taught by world-class guest artists.
Lynn Deering, associate professor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation

to take classes with other CSU students, graduates and local professional
dancers taught by a renowned roster of contemporary dance artists in an
engaging, exciting and nurturing environment.”
“There will be around 45 participants in the Summer Dance Workshop,
some will be past and present CSU students and others community professionals.”
Guest artists include Davis Dorfman from David Dorfman Dance, Nora Chipaumire
from Urban Bush Women, Helanius Wilkins from Edgeworks Dance Theater and
Erica Steinwig, formerly with the Repertory Project.
Faculty guests from other universities include Travis Gatling, Ohio University;

In addition to the classes, there will be Friday evening and Saturday
morning classes. Also included in the program are technique classes and
two master classes with Hubbard Street II Dance Company.
After all their hard work at the end of the summer, students will have
