Dance Critique

This dance event hosted by the department of theater and dance at Montclair State University was a spectacular event that you would not want to miss.

Its amazing to see that Montclair State University carries great talent here. I am looking forward to attend another dance performance here.

Overall I loved everything about this dance event, and nothing for me was flawed. Everything was perfect as it can
