The BYU Dance Majors are a tight group around the RB! These student leaders above have served for a full year as DMSRs, doing various projects from planning activities and organizing events to designing and ordering group T-shirts and swag!
“The DMSRs provide an important service to the dance majors and to the department,” said Associate Professor of Dance Shani Robison, who is faculty advisor over the student leaders and new dance majors. “They help with dance major meetings, preview day, student orientations, major fairs, and more. They set up socials and serve the dance majors in any way that they can.”
“I am so blessed to have made life-long friends that have changed my life,” said Ryan Hatch, class of 2020, BFA in Dance and DSMR secretary this past year. “My time on BYU Theatre Ballet has shaped me into the person that I am! I am so grateful for the amazing directors Shayla Bott, Ashley Ivory Parov, Hilary Wolfley and all of the other amazing faculty I have worked with!
“The DMSRs are excellent students, strong contributors and an invaluable part of the Department of Dance,” Robison said. “I thoroughly enjoy working with them and know that as they graduate they will provide great leadership and service to the dance field for many years to come! Thank you for all of your work and congratulations to the graduates this year!”
