Why Memories.? In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Munnerlyn Center for Worship and Fine Arts, this yearā€™s concert reflects on two decades of dance excellence and creativity. The performance will feature works by alumna Jen Efstathion Colvin ’06, showcasing a vibrant hip-hop number, and a recreation of the iconic Ramalama by returning former director of dance Missy Ponder-Reston.

Adding a spiritual resonance to this year’s theme is the Fine Arts Departmentā€™s guiding verse: ā€œI thank my God every time I remember you.ā€ (Philippians 1:3). Prepare to be transported as our dancers bring a diverse range of styles to life, from contemporary to hip-hop, jazz to tap, and more. Elevating the evening further, we are thrilled to welcome back guest artist Tommy Alexander.
