Ormao is a company of professional dancers who will be collaborating with UCCS students in the dance pieces. The show has been a year in planning, with auditions and rehearsals having begun in January. The performance features a total of 19 dancers, 11 of which are UCCS students. 
 
Rosely Conz, producer of the performance and UCCS’ Assistant Professor of Dance, said there will be three pieces that are about 20 minutes each. She calls the performance “an eclectic concert that is tied by using dance to explore uncharted ideas.”

Community Class at Ormao

Join us for the December Community Class as part of the Dance Diversity program at Ormao!

”This month, we're excited to have Rosely Conz guiding us through the energizing and community-building movement of Brazilian Jongo, a form of expression using singing, dancing, and drumming. Over time, Jongo has become a staple of resistance, a way for communities to peacefully gather and support causes they believe in”.
