Dance Introduction


Hello everyone! My blog is going to be about the dance program at California State University Long Beach. Throughout my blog I will be writing about performances, dance classes, an overview of the dance program and the audition process. I picked this subject because I have been dancing my whole life and I wanted to share my love and excitement of the dance program at CSULB. It is a really  great program and it is nationally ranked, so it would be nice for most students to at least take one class during their college life. It is truly amazing! Take Dance!
