The 2018 Spring Dance Concert, "Mixt," is just as it sounds. Pierce is bringing dance to life by mixing different styles into one cohesive show.

Instructor of Theater Brian Moe is one of the choreographers featured in the show. He is advising two performances — a jazz contemporary and a modern piece.

Moe said that there are many student choreographers contributing this year and that he is excited to see how their performance will be received.

“Students get to create work and put it on stage, so it's always interesting to see how they and the audience reacts to it,” Moe said

According to the Pierce College Dance Theater Facebook page, the concert surrounds a collection of modern dance styles and musical trends

“The choreographic works will include dance styles such as hiphop, salsa, bachata, musical theater, swing, modern jazz, ballet, and other contemporary dance forms. The performance is filled with zany concepts, energetic music, dynamic choreography, and over ten different dance genres!” the Facebook page said.

During his time at Pierce, Moe said he has noticed many great things about the school and performing arts.

“These students are very dedicated, and there’s a lot of diversity. There are a lot of kids at different levels,” Moe said. “Pierce’s dance department is growing and starting to build an outreach so students can get an associate degree
