"It is important to demonstrate to our students that there are many ways our students can thrive professionally in the dance industry, and what better way than to connect them with professionals they call family. We’re encouraging them to start thinking intentionally about their futures, and these conversations will provide important knowledge, guidance, advice and information to help our students set and attain their professional goals."

Garfield Lemonius, M.F.A., chair and associate professor

Point Park University's Department of Dance will host a virtual speaker series during the Fall 2020 semester. The goal of the series is to connect students directly with working alumni and guests, creating a bridge between our students and those working professionally.

Each Monday, from Sept. 7 through Nov. 30 from 4:30 - 6:00 p.m., Point Park dance alumni and guest professionals will have engaging, virtual discussions organized into five categories: Broadway, Concert Dance, Choreographers, Entrepreneurs and the Commercial Dance Industry.
