Notes from the Director
What Our Graduates Are Doing
"I joined InMotion Dance Company as a freshman at Indiana University. I became InMotion's Assistant Director of Hip Hop my sophomore year; Head Director of Contemporary my junior year and am completing my senior year as Head Director of Hip Hop, growing the company from 60 - 100 dancers! I have Epic to thank for my well-rounded dance education, which allowed me the flexibility to dance and lead in different genres. My last performance at IU is our Fusion '26 Showcase is 4/19 @ 2pm. I'd love to see you there!"
