Northern Essex Community College’s Still Point Dancers’ spring performance on Friday April 27, and Saturday April 28, at 8 p.m. in the Sport and Fitness Center, on the Haverhill campus, will feature faculty and student choreography including a dance piece dedicated to the college’s 50th anniversary.

An alumni reception will be held for all alumni prior to the Saturday performance at 6:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Sport and Fitness Center. All alumni are invited to attend.

Coordinator of the NECC Dance Program Michelle Deane’s choreographed modern dance piece titled “Underneath What We See” explores what people see when they are looking past exterior looks, in particular clothing. The main focus of the dance is on the male and female duet. Their relationship throughout the piece builds as they are looking past one another’s physical qualities. The Dance Repertory class will perform this piece.

“A Lost Companion”, choreographed by student Jordan Slates of Tyngsboro, explores the feelings of a group of women after losing a friend they each had a different type of relationship with. This piece was submitted to the American College Dance Festival at Connecticut College in February and was well received.

In addition, Deane has choreographed a group performance in celebration of the college’s 50th anniversary.

Tickets for this event are $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and $3 for children under 12.
