Over 25 years ago, U-M Professor of Dance Bill DeYoung founded the Freshmen Touring Company with the intent to provide first year dance majors with the opportunity to learn and perform repertory around southeastern Michigan. The 2014 season, under the direction of Robin Wilson, features works by U-M Dance alumni Jennifer Harge; guest choreographers Stuart Pimsler and Suzanne Costello; current U-M Dance students Hillary Kooistra, Ambika Raina and Alexis Turner; and U-M Dance faculty Robin Wilson. Led by these choreographers, the students explore and develop their artistry within the practice of modern dance.
