Since the summer of 2009, I have had the privilege to study voice under Dr. Robert Holst, assistant professor of music at Lewis University. Dr. Holst is also director of the Downers Grove Choral Society, a highly-regarded community chorus in my area.
Baroque nobility dancing the minuet, Polynesian natives performing ritual dances, a crowd of American teens dancing the electric slide at a prom .... what do all of these groups have in common? They are all dancing! Indeed, since the beginnings of recorded history, dance has served as an important cultural expression throughout the world.
