    Opening night, the dancers that performed in the University Dance Theatre production, had talent, agility, and graceful movements. The concert had a variety of dance genres, visual appeal, and emotions that each piece and the show overall represented.

Additionally, with respect to the heart beat tune, the lighting was dim except for the dancers in the middle of the room. The only problem I had with this scene was the lighting.…
