Optima Dance
Share
It gives students of all dance backgrounds and all fields of study the chance to experiment with and expose their talents in all genres of dance.
Optima Dance is a student organization that was created to give dancers at UW-Madison the opportunity to showcase their own choreography and perform in student choreographed works. Previous shows have included everything from ballet and jazz to African and musical theatre. We welcome all forms of dance and all levels! In 2009, Optima Dance became UW-Madison's largest dance student organization with over 100 members!
