Slippery Rock University dance instructor Teena Custer will be one of the performers Oct. 5 in SRU's Faculty and Guest Artist Dance Concert held at Butler County Community College.

SLIPPERY ROCK — Hip-hop, contemporary and Afro-Colombian dance will be on display when Slippery Rock University presents two showings of the Faculty and Guest Artist Dance Concert Oct. 5.

Curtain will be at 2 and 6:30 p.m. in Butler County Community College’s Succop Theater.

More than 45 student dancers, six dance faculty members and three guest artists will present original choreography.

SRU dance professors Ursula Payne, Nora Ambrosio and Jennifer Keller, associate dance professor Melissa Teodoro, and dance instructor Teena Custer will perform. Andy Hasenflug, dance department musician, will present a musical selection.

Payne will perform a solo based upon encounters with Oromo women of Ethiopia during travels to East Africa in 2004.

Teodoro adds her own work with “Mapalé.” Teodoro, who’s research focuses on Afro-Colombian cultures and dance, will be taking a group of SRU dance majors to Colombia in 2015 to continue developing their knowledge of Colombian dance and culture.

Guest artists are Alexandre Munz, a French choreographer; Louis Fernando Trouchon, a Colombian dancer and choreographer; and Helanius Wilkins, a Louisiana-based choreographer, performer and teacher.

Dance majors Ryan McMullen of Philadelphia and Emmalee Hallinan of Altoona will present Munz’s duet “Symmetrical Vespers.”

Trouchon will premiere “La Danza del Garabato,” one of the most traditional and popular dances of the Colombian carnival.

Wilkins, who completed a semester as a visiting professor at SRU in spring 2014, will present “Everything for the First Time,” a large ensemble made up of students from his repertory course.

Tickets, $5 for students and $10 for general admission, are available at the Smith Student Center Information Desk or at the door. Call 724-738-4854 for more information.
