K-STATE INVITING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN DANCE TO SPECIAL WORKSHOP AND OPEN HOUSE FEB. 2

MANHATTAN -- High school students from across Kansas and throughout the region have a chance to experience Kansas State University's dance program firsthand.

K-State's High School Dance Day 2007 will be Friday, Feb. 2, in Nichols Hall on the K-State campus. Registration begins at 7:15 a.m. The event is open to all students in grades eight through 12.

"If students attend our event, they will receive a full day of dance classes from all dance faculty," said Julie Pentz, assistant professor of dance. "They will have an opportunity to meet current students majoring in dance, and parents and guardians will have an opportunity to sit down with a financial aid representative."

Students attending the High School Dance Day also can audition for a talent scholarship and see performances by K-State dance students.

Registration is $10, and the deadline to sign up is Friday, Jan. 19. Although the deadline may be extended, Pentz encouraged interested high school students to sign up early, as spots fill quickly. For more information and to register, visit http://www.k-state.edu/sctd/dance/danceday.html
