Oklahoma City University’s American Spirit Dance Company will present its “Home for the Holidays” show Dec. 6-9 in the Kirkpatrick Fine Arts Center at N.W. 24th Street and Blackwelder Avenue.
Under the direction of Jo Rowan, the festive, high-energy dance celebration will journey to a Christmas party like no other. This year’s show features new kicklines, tap dances and more from OCU’s nationally recognized dancers and choreographers. It includes an entirely new lineup of dances with the precision and beauty that has made the dance company internationally known.
OnStage, a national media outlet covering the performing arts, ranked OCU’s Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment among the top three dance programs in the nation — ahead of Juilliard — for the second year in a row. The program has alumni credits in more than 86 Broadway musicals and has produced 49 Radio City Rockettes. PlayBill ranked Oklahoma City University among this year’s Top 10 Most Represented Colleges on Broadway.
“Home for the Holidays” has become a yearly tradition for families across the state and beyond. Attendees will have a photo opportunity with Santa’s helpers during the show’s intermission. Sweets and merchandise will also be available in the lobby.
