Dance is so popular at Providence College that studio space is booked to capacity. We invited students from Dance Company, Dance Team, Dance Club, Ballroom Dance, Irish Dance, Motherland Dance, and Step Team to participate in a photo session with photographer Karin Michele Dailey on a Saturday afternoon in January. Their precision, enthusiasm, and skills were breathtaking.

Special congratulations goes to the Dance Team, which came in fifth in the nation in the National Dance Association Championships.
