Zodiaque Dance Company 51st Season Fall Concert

Co-Directed by Kerry Ring and Michael Deeb Weaver

Founded in 1974, Zodiaque Dance Company (ZDC) has UB’s eminent pre-professional dance company for more than five decades of innovative, creative performances.

In keeping with ZDC’s mission, the fall program features a diverse array of dance styles, including modern, contemporary, jazz, tap, and hip hop. Works will be created by UB Dance faculty Kurt Adametz and Chanon Judson and accomplished local choreographers Ariana Dixie and Rachael Leonard.

The program is punctuated by the contributions of former UB Dance faculty members Thomas Ralabate (Immediate Past Artistic Director of ZDC and Professor Emeritus) and 3rd year MFA candidate Rebekah Bono. The concert is under the co-direction of faculty members Kerry Ring and Michael Deeb Weaver, who will also set works. It showcases collaborations with our Theatre Design/Technology program.
