SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University Dance Company's 14th annual Fall Showcase is Thursday-Saturday, November 20-22 at 8 p.m. in Holloway Hall Auditorium.  The popular production features guest artists Dylan Pearce and Jordan Perry, and six new works by Company members.

Guest choreographer Dylan Pearce studied at the prestigious Joffrey Ballet.  His television and stage appearances include the Starbound Showcase, WMBA All-Star Halftime, the Michael Awards and Equity Fights AIDS.  “Rock the 80s,” a rousing all-company finale in three sections, is Dylan’s first work for the Company.
