About First Year Dance Project (FYDP)
First Year Dance Project (FYDP) is part of Companydance©, which provides dance performance and creative opportunities for St. Olaf College students. FYDP enables students new to the College and/or new to Companydance to get to know one another and build a community in a movement setting. During the span of one semester, FYDP dancers and the Dance Department faculty and staff become acquainted with one another by working together on the creation of new dance work, the restaging of existing dance works, and the teaching of master classes in various dance styles and genres. A range of movement and creative aesthetics, styles and philosophies are explored during this process, which results in an end of the semester sharing.
