50 Years of Performing 

"Despite being one of the most stressful weeks of the year, tech week is one of my favorites. All of the choreographers' contributions which were developed over the weeks are unified on stage. I am quite literally always blown away by watching each and every piece. It's also thanks to our Penn Dance traditions throughout the week that we have such a fun and entertaining week. There is no such thing as spending too much time with PD."
