Our country is in mourning after the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Nina Pop, Tony McDade, Dreasjon Reed and the countless other Black lives at the hands of police. We grieve for those who have died and for those who continue to be brutalized by this ongoing issue. We condemn violence against Black people and the systemic racism that pervades our society.

Admitted students for the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance’s Class of 2024 recently attended a virtual panel with several of the School’s alumni. The speakers included Stephanie Dai, Satori Folkes-Stone, Paulo Hernandez-Farella and Jackie Schiffner from the Class of 2019.

The new USC Kaufman Maymester, DANC 339: Dance Capitals of the World, planned to take place in Berlin, Germany. Due to COVID-19, the course moved online for its three week session and adapted its syllabus accordingly.
