The University of Mary Washington’s Performing Arts Club, fondly abbreviated PAC, is a student run, student funded dance club. PAC provides performance opportunities and several dance class opportunities each semester to dancers of all levels.
Every semester PAC puts on a “Big Show” and a “Small Show.” All of the pieces in both shows are choreographed by students, alumni, or faculty member and performed by full time undergraduate students.
The “Big Show” is a semester long process that begins with auditions at the beginning of the semester. Weekly hour long rehearsals are held and choreographers may not participate in their own pieces. To choreograph, two semesters of participation in the club are required. There are two shows in Dodd Auditorium near the end of the semester, one evening show and one matinee.
The “Small Show” is open to all PAC members and other dance clubs on campus who are invited by the officers. Any member may choreograph. Choreographers pick their dancers and may, but do not have to, be in their own pieces. This is a less formal show that takes place in a variety of venues, including Dodd Auditorium.
