'UK at the Half' Reports on University's Dance Program

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 4, 2015) — Susie Thiel, director of the UK Dance Program at University of Kentucky Department of Theatre and Dance, was featured during the "UK at the Half" that aired during the UK vs. University of Missouri basketball game, broadcast on the radio Jan. 29.

With the growth of the dance minor, this summer the UK Department of Theatre changed its name to better reflect its student body to the UK Department of Theatre and Dance. There are currently 60 UK students minoring in dance and every year the numbers continue to rise. The Dance Program at UK offers classes in modern, musical theater, ballet, jazz, choreography and more. An introduction to dance course is also available under the UK Core curriculum. The program presented its fourth annual concert, "Capture Momentum," Jan. 30-Feb. 1, at Guignol Theatre.

"UK at the Half" airs during the halftime of each UK football and basketball game broadcast and is hosted by Carl Nathe of UK Public Relations and Marketing.
