I love this comment from cartoonist Lynda Barry in an interview on Bullseye- she says her belief is that the arts have a biological function. They are our external organs, something we need to keep us going.

well this is incredible news. What a long and rich history Bennington has with dance and how wonderful that U of the Arts for dance will have a temporary home there.

Such a great organization and I've had students who came away with so much information as well as school offers after the audition. Those applying to college dance programs(also for juniors and even sophomores), I highly recommend attending!
