River North Chicago Dance Company hosts class for students

The River North Chicago Dance Company exceeded expectations in their performance Sunday at the John. R. Emens Auditorium.

Sarah Bibik, assistant artistic director for the dance company, said there was a great turn-out for the show.

"I think it went great. The audience was nice and big. The dancers really appreciate how many people come out," she said.

Evan Cain, a sophomore double majoring in dance and political science, said he thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

"It was amazing," he said. "It was breathtaking and it was nice to see something that I would love to do."

Along with the performance, the River North Chicago Dance Company hosted a master class after their performance for dance majors who were interested in working with a professional. The class was held yesterday in Ball Gymnasium at 10:30 a.m. The students came fully prepared to dance.

"It went really well. It's nice to see someone in the professional world say the same things as our teachers since it gives us new inspiration. It wasn't for a grade, so there was no pressure," Cain said. "It inspires me because he's doing what I want to do and it makes you work that much harder to see that."
