Arts in NYC proudly presents What has been - what is now, a showcase of works created by the Spring 2025 cohort of Florida State University and University of Florida BFA and BA dance students. As a celebration of growth and individual expression, this collection of works immerses the audience in a world of storytelling and collaboration.
Influenced by the multi-faceted arts scene in NYC, the dancers explore a range of artistic mediums in their works, including dynamic movement, multi-genre music, photography, captivating film work, and costuming to address themes of human connection, nature, family legacy, self-identity, spirituality, and home.
With the recent passing of Nancy Smith Fichter, the former Chair of FSU’s School of Dance (1964-1997), we honor her legacy and passion for dance through this performance and carry her determination, tenacity, and commitment as we emerge into the professional field. We will forever live by her motto, “do it with love.”
Mentored by Arts in NYC teaching faculty Marilyn Maywald Yahel.
