Dance at Agnes Scott

Welcome back everyone! Hopefully everyone in dance classes has had a wonderful first class of the semester, Studio Dance Theatre dancers: we will see you on Friday the 16th at 2-4 for our company meeting and piece auditions!

Today we officially closed out our Studio Dance Theatre 2025 Fall season with our usual gathering to watch our graduating senior .tovar10 sign the barre. This tradition is bittersweet as usual and we will miss her tremendously, but she is on to big things! Wish her the best in her journey!!

Last but not least in our Summer Senior Showcase is Maggie Harrison! Maggie is a dance and history double major from Newnan, Georgia. Their favorite style of dance is a tie between tap and contemporary. Her favorite piece to dance was “Volition” (also known as yellow dress piece) choreographed by Bridget Roosa due to its very fun and energetic persona. Maggie has had a colorful run in her time at Agnes Scott and in SDT. She has presented two pieces at the American College Dance Association Conference, “Sweetheart Sentiment” in 2024 and “September Song” in 2025, presented two dance history based senior capstone projects, “Tulle Through Time: Identity, Innovation, and the Importance of the Ballet Tutu” and “Curtains and Choreography: Dance Diplomacy Across Cold War Borders”, was named a Stukes Scholar for ranking first academically in the 2025 senior class, and was the recipient of the Dance Department Award for Creative Excellence in 2025. Maggie has also had the pleasure of running the Dance at Agnes social media accounts for the past two years. Maggie plans to take a gap year after graduation and attend graduate school in the fall or spring of 2026, focusing on collections or museum education. Join us in congratulating and sending good vibes to Maggie! 💜✨🎓
