Spotlight on the Arts is the University of Georgia's annual celebration of the literary, visual and performing arts. Held each November, the month long festival highlights the arts and humanities on campus with dozens of events and exhibitions. Three of the Spotlight Performers this past fall Caroline Hawes is a Dance and Criminal Justice double major on the pre-law track at UGA. “Having two majors within the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences has allowed me to easily manage a double major and expand my studies beyond dance.” Caroline Hawes Mary Peyton Tanner is double majoring in Business Management and Dance at the University of Georgia. “The fact that UGA gave me the opportunity to double major in dance and another field was one of the main reasons I was so excited to be accepted not only to the university but also to the dance program. I also knew that I was interested in studying abroad, and UGA offers such an extensive list of opportunities in terms of dance specific study abroad programs, as well as in many other fields.” Mary Peyton Tanner Hannah Smith is a second-year student at UGA with a Cognitive Science Major, hoping to concentrate in psychology and artificial Intelligence, with a Dance Minor, on the pre-med track. “Studying dance helps keep me grounded in my well-being with such a busy and full course load of study. It allows me to take care of myself while giving me a chance to get credit for a minor in a course of study that I really enjoy.” Hannah Smith Spotlight on Dance Performances 2024 Events Dance Sampler Nov. 8, 2024 12:15 - 12:45 p.m. New Dance Theatre, Dance Building UGA dance students performed a short presentation of faculty choreographed works in progress.
