SRU Dance presenting “We Run This!” this weekend

SRU Dance, Salve Regina’s student-run dance organization, will present its fall performance, “We Run This!,” Friday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 6 in the Rodgers Recreation Center.

The fall performance will include more than 20 dances in styles of tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, and Irish step. This semester, the club boasts more than 120 performers, who will dance to the music of Beyonce, Sam Smith, Iggy Azalea and more.

Performances will be held at 7 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday. Admission to Friday’s performance is at least a $1 donation to the Andrea Rizzo Foundation, while admission to Saturday’s performance is $5. At both shows, children young enough to sit on an adult’s lap are admitted free.

A Salve Regina graduate, Andrea Rizzo was tragically killed by a drunk driver at age 24. The foundation established in her name raises money for children’s cancer research through dance therapy programs. The members of SRU Dance continue to support “Drea’s Dream” and help the foundation in any way they can.
