Hi, kathieh1,

D really enjoyed the dance department - especially modern. (She’s not a ballet dancer.) The faculty are great and the two I knew best were Laurie Cameron and John Pennington. Dance concerts are held in the spring, and they’re produced very well. If you can’t make it to the concert, you can purchase a DVD of it at a very reasonable price (I think it was about $5 at that time).

D developed strong friendships with other dancers from Pomona and the other Claremonts. She didn’t have any problem connecting to the department, and found the classes to be challenging and the faculty supportive. There was a lot of cameraderie in the dance department!
