Spring Appalachian Dance Ensemble (SADE)

Wed, Apr 7 – Sun, Apr 11, 2027 · Wed–Sun · 2pm & 7pm · Valborg Theatre

SADE is a popular semi-annual concert featuring Appalachian faculty and students showcasing their talents in choreography and performance. The 2027 edition includes original choreography by four student choreographers and then, unique to this year's program, a group collaboration by the faculty who are each choreographing sections of Camille Saint Saëns' Carnival of the Animals performed by an ensemble of student dancers to a four handed piano arrangement played live by pianists from the Hayes School of Music.
