Dance Repertory Company

The Montclair State University Dance Repertory Company is comprised of University Dance Majors. Auditioning for the company is a requirement (as well as an opportunity!) for dance majors who are fulfilling rehearsal and performance expectations for the Dance program. Auditions are held the first week of the Fall semester and rehearsals begin immediately. The company’s three annual concerts are held respectively in the Montclair State University Dance Theatre, Alexander Kasser Theatre and Memorial Auditorium on campus. The company also performs off campus at the American College Dance Festival where it has won numerous awards and recognitions.
