Dance Performance Observation

Since it was my first time attending a college dance show, I did not know what to expect. I know it would be a whole lot better than the dance concerts I had to be a part of in high school.

That really does give me hope that Collin College dance program may continue to flourish with more creative people joining up. I hope one day these dancers training here may continue this proud legacy out in the
