LPAP Dance Class Offerings LPAP Dance Course Outlines Rice Dance Theatre Rice Dance Theatre is a student organization at Rice University that promotes modern dance. Students study with three professional dancers who are responsible for directing the organization.
Students perform in concerts on campus and throughout the Houston community.
Auditions are usually held at the start of each semester for dancers to perform in a concert held near the end of that semester. Students are involved in all aspects of the concert, including stage managing, sound managing, box office, program design, and advertising, in addition to choreographing for and dancing in the performances. The number of dancers in Rice Dance Theatre varies each year as the number of student and faculty choreographers changes. Besides weekly rehearsals, Rice Dance Theatre dancers attend two technique classes each week, which are open to all Rice University students. The classes are taught at an advanced level, but dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels are welcome.
