Tucson, Arizona-- Pima Community College performing arts department presents the PCC Dance concert DANCE FUSION. Under the direction of Aurora Gonçalves-Shaner, PCC students, faculty and guest artists from the University of Arizona perform various dance styles fused together in a melting pot of movements from classical to contemporary to cultural. A vibrant blend of physicality, musicality and passion is demonstrated by innovative, unique and unexpected choreography with contrasting music. The eclectic selections from the program include the fusion of ballet, jazz and break-dancing; modern and hip-hop; Brazilian, modern, ballet and jazz; folklorico and ballet; and hip-hop dance to music by a string quartet.
Gonçalves-Shaner was born in São Paulo, Brazil and grew up in Bahia, where she developed her classical ballet and modern dance techniques. She has travelled the world performing as a professional dancer with a Brazilian contemporary dance company, Ballet Teatro Castro Alves (a.k.a Bahia Ballet). As an American resident, besides obtaining her B.A. in dance from Brigham Young University, and her M.F.A. in dance from The University of Arizona, Gonçalves-Shaner has won national titles in ballroom dance competitions. She is currently a full-time dance faculty member teaching at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona.
The PCC Dance concert is open to the public. Tickets are available at the Center for the Arts box office, located on West Campus at 2202 West Anklam Road, Tucson, (just west of downtown and I-10 on St. Mary’s Road which turns into Anklam Road). Box office hours are Tuesday-Friday, noon-5 p.m. and one hour prior to performance. For more information call 520-206-6986, e-mail centerforthearts@pima.edu, or www.pima.edu/cfa.
