Celebrating Class of '24!

Congratulations to the class of 2024 – our Class of Hope! These dancers arrived on campus during fall 2020 and never looked back. We wish them the best as they embark on their next artistic and personal adventures! #24! 

As we say goodbye to the 2023-2024 academic year, our dancers are gearing up for summer intensives around the world, where they will study with the Nederlands Dans Theater, Visceral Dance, Orsolina 28, DanceWorks Chicago, DOVA Dance, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and more. When we return in the fall, we are excited to welcome our incoming class, the class of 2028 into our School of Dance Community!

Audrey, Colorado

Audrey is from Colorado and will be graduating with a BFA in Dance. Audrey’s favorite memory from the past four years was during “freshman year.. my class and I got in trouble at the Drive in Dance show for being too energetic and dancing too much while we were supposed to be tech crew. The most fun, crazy, funny and fun class in Mason School of Dance history was born that day!! Keep it up ‘24, I love you so much.”
